The site is in an area not designated for development and within High Landscape or Coastal Value and Scenic Significance, so General Policy 3 exceptions were applied, allowing agricultural buildings e…
General Policy 3
Prohibits development outside zoned areas except for essential agricultural buildings under (f). The officer applied the exception as the garage/tractor shed supports upkeep of applicant's 10.1 acres of farmland, establishing the principle as acceptable.
Environment Policy 1
Protects countryside unless overriding national need outweighs protection and no alternative exists. The agricultural need for the tractor shed outweighed general countryside protection given the site's context within applicant's farm land.
Environment Policy 2
Prioritises landscape character protection in AHLV areas unless no harm or essential location. Assessed as no harm due to modest scale, timber finish blending with existing, and siting 18m from dwellings near building group; not exposed or isolated.
Environment Policy 15
Requires agricultural buildings to be sited near existing groups, appropriate in scale/materials/siting, sympathetic to landscape. Proposal meets this via location beside substation near dwelling, modest size, timber cladding, and flat roof with glass fibre finish.
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.
Agricultural use only
The building must be used only for agricultural purposes. Reason: The countryside is protected from development and an exception is being made on the basis of agricultural need. As such the building must be used for the purposes for which it is approved.
