General Policy 3
Requires development generally within zoned areas, with exceptions; proposal outside zoning but accepted as reasonable subservient garage despite not fitting exceptions, weighing scale/siting impacts against countryside protection.
Environment Policy 1
Protects countryside/ecology unless overriding need and no alternative; officer found no adverse countryside impact from modest ancillary building in existing curtilage.
Environment Policy 2
Prioritises landscape character in AHLV unless no harm or essential location; garage's sympathetic design, materials, and screening ensured no harm to AHLV character.
