General Policy 3
GP3 permits development outside zoned areas for exceptions like buildings or works required for interpretation of the countryside, its wildlife or heritage. The officer assessed the mobile catering unit as socially and physically beneficial for recreational activity in the plantation, not adversely affecting character or appearance.

Environment Policy 1
EP1 protects the countryside unless overriding national need outweighs it. The proposal was found not to harm the countryside environment, with benefits for recreational amenity outweighing any impacts, supported by no lighting and temporary nature.
Environmental Policy 22
EP22 prevents development unacceptably harming environment or nearby amenity. No harm identified to countryside or amenity, as activity links to existing recreational use with no residential neighbours affected.
Business Policy 1
BP1 supports employment growth. The unit offers small-scale business opportunity tied to recreation, aligning with economic strategy.
