The site is in an area of High Landscape Value and Scenic Significance with a presumption against development under Environment Policies 1 and 2, and general policy to protect the countryside.
Environment Policy 1
Requires presumption against development in High Landscape Value and Scenic Significance areas. Officer noted this but found modest re-use of existing buildings acceptable despite not retaining fabric.
Environment Policy 2
Protects areas of scenic significance. Applied alongside ENV1, but outweighed by support for re-use and lack of visual impact.
Environment Policy 16
Supports conversion and re-use of buildings of interest. Officer referenced as generally supportive for repurposing piggery and thie veg.
Housing Policy 11
Supports re-use of buildings. Cited alongside ENV16 as enabling the ancillary agricultural facilities.
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.
