Environment Policy 1
Protects countryside (land outside settlements or unzoned on Area Plans) from adverse development unless overriding national need and no alternative. Site is countryside but within curtilage of existing non-traditional property; proposal ancillary and screened, so no adverse countryside impact.
General Policy 2
Permits development respecting zoning if it respects site/surroundings (siting/layout/scale/form/design/landscaping), does not adversely affect landscape/townscape character, incorporates topography/landscape features, and protects amenity. Proposal tested on scale (larger but suited to large site), visual impact (screened/unobtrusive), location (replaces sheds, distant from dwelling), design/materials (agricultural-style); all compliant.
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.
