General Policy 3
GP3 permits development outside zoned areas for location-dependent development in connection with necessary services. The officer assessed the STW as essential servicing for the existing rural dwelling in a non-zoned woodland area, fitting the exception for necessary services with no reasonable alternative given the existing off-site system.
Environment Policy 1
ENV1 protects countryside and ecology outside settlements unless overriding national need with no alternative. The proposal was found not to adversely affect the countryside due to underground nature and relocation improving on existing off-site system near the river.
Environment Policy 2
ENV2 prioritises protection of Areas of High Landscape or Coastal Value unless no harm to character. The site is in such an area; officer confirmed the development would not harm landscape character as works are underground with limited visual impact.
Environment Policy 3
ENV3 prevents unacceptable loss or damage to woodland. The new system and pipework avoid proximity to trees, unlike the existing tank, ensuring no impact on the designated woodland.
Policy 13.3 (Braddan Parish District Local Plan)
Designates rural Braddan areas as High Landscape Value requiring tree group and woodland maintenance. The proposal does not affect trees or woodland, supporting the policy's aims.
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 14 of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) (No2) Order 2013 and to avoid the accumulation of unimplemented planning approvals.
