General Policy 3
Restricts development outside zoned areas to eight specific exceptions; proposal does not qualify under any, so officer assessed impact on property and countryside instead of relying on exceptions. This led to evaluation under other policies for visual and amenity effects.
Environment Policy 1
Protects countryside and ecology outside settlements or development zones; site is countryside within open space designation. Assessed implicitly through lack of adverse countryside impact noted.
Environment Policy 2
Protects character of Areas of High Landscape or Coastal Value; development acceptable if no harm to landscape or location essential. Shed sited behind high wall, distant from road, single-storey, screened by mature boundaries, scaled/designed to blend—no harm to character, complying with EP2(a).
