Environment Policy 1
Requires protection of countryside outside settlements unless overriding national need outweighs protection and no alternative exists. Officer assessed the extension as essential location-dependent services for the farm site with no adverse countryside impact due to its modest scale and screening.
Environment Policy 2
Protects Areas of High Landscape or Coastal Value unless development does not harm landscape character or location is essential. The proposal was found not to harm landscape character as it is small, screened by mature trees and landscaping, and not visible publicly.
General Policy 3
Permits development outside zoned areas for essential services connected to agriculture. The extension qualifies as 'location-dependent development in connection with the provision of necessary services' for the farm.
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.
