General Policy 3
Restricts development outside zoned areas except for specified exceptions like agricultural housing, redundant building conversions, or essential agriculture/forestry works. The officer assessed the garage/workshop as not qualifying under any exception, exceeding permitted development limits, and representing inappropriate countryside development.
Environment Policy 1
Protects countryside (unzoned land outside settlements) unless overriding national need with no alternative. The site is countryside; officer found no overriding need, concluding the proposal would adversely affect it.
Environment Policy 2
Prioritises landscape character protection in Areas of High Landscape Value unless no harm or essential location. Within such an area, officer determined the proposal's scale/siting would harm character and is not essential.
Environment Policy 3
Prohibits unacceptable loss/damage to woodland of amenity/conservation value. Assessed as acceptable given consultee confirmation of minimal tree impact and no objection to minor removals.
Do not oppose subject to the imposition of the condition that the applicant shall contact the Network Operations Section prior to carrying out any works within the highway, including dropped kerbs
No objections but suggest condition that the garage is not to be converted into living accommodation at any time in the future
Footprint as planned would have minimal detrimental effect on nearby trees; no objection to removing 6 small insignificant trees with decay evidence immediately to the rear if needed
