Environment Policy 15
Requires proof of agricultural need outweighing countryside restrictions, with buildings sited close to existing groups, appropriate in scale, materials, etc., to be sympathetic to landscape; near residences, no unacceptable adverse impacts. Officer assessed the proposal meets this as extension adjoins existing building on working farm with proven need, matching materials, localised siting, and no amenity harm at distance.
Environment Policy 2
Protects Areas of High Landscape Value (AHLV) unless development does not harm character/quality or location is essential. Officer found no harm to AHLV character due to limited additional visibility from roads, hedged boundaries, and integration with existing farm buildings.
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.

The agricultural building hereby approved shall be removed and the ground restored to its former condition in the event that it is no longer used or required for agricultural purposes. Reason: The building has been exceptionally approved solely to meet agricultural need and its subsequent retention would result in an unwarranted intrusion in the countryside.
