Environment Policy 2
Further restrictions on development in scenic areas. Balanced by evidence of no local agricultural need.
Housing Policy 4
Policy against new dwellings in countryside. Existing dwelling's condition removal tested against functional need.
Strategic Policy 2 - Priority for new development to identified towns and villages
Against new dwellings. Exception via agricultural policies now expired.
Environment Policy 15
Allows agricultural dwellings where need proven. Original approval under this, but current assessment shows need no longer exists.
