General Policy 3
General Policy 3 provides exceptions to development restraint in countryside areas, including part (e) for location-dependent development in connection with minerals working or provision of necessary services. The officer assessed the borehole as fitting this exception to serve the approved dwelling, despite initial questionability, as it provides a reliable water source in a remote location.
General Policy 2
Sets general standards for acceptable development. The minimal scale of the borehole head was found compliant as it causes no material impact on character and appearance.
Environment Policy 1
Seeks protection of the countryside for its own sake. The proposal's de minimis impact satisfied this policy.
Time limit
The development hereby approved shall be begun before the expiration of four years from the date of this decision notice. Reason: To comply with Article 26 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2019 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
