General Policy 3
Prohibits development outside zoned areas except specific exceptions (e.g. agriculture, national need). Officer assessed the proposal as contrary but acceptable due to established campsite use (no zoned alternatives), prior toilet block approval, and ancillary nature not meeting strict exceptions but not causing significant harm.
Environment Policy 1
Protects countryside/ecology unless overriding national need with no alternative. Site is countryside; officer balanced against scout storage needs (no suitable urban alternatives), tree/river safeguards, and minimal ecological impact.
Environment Policy 2
Protects High Landscape/Coastal Value areas (AHLV) unless no harm to character or essential location. Officer found no significant harm to landscape character due to tree screening from road, acceptability within campsite context from footpath, and green colouring/siting.
