The development harmed the character and appearance of the countryside

"The development harmed the character and appearance of the countryside"

That's what they said about this beautifully idyllic, unobtrusive, hobbit-esque house built entirely from natural resources, followed by an order to take down the structure which would leave a family of 3 homeless, and £15,000 wasted out of their own pocket. Now, I'm no live-and-let-love hippy or whatever and technically they're in the wrong but the reasoning for this decision is absolutely pathetic and I think exceptions should be made on a case by case basis.
