General Policy 3
Restricts development outside zoned areas except essential agricultural/forestry buildings (para f). Officer tested if structures essential: Agricultural Advisor found applicant not registered, 3.08 acres/0.08 labour units not a business, failing the exception and presumption against countryside development.
Environment Policy 2
Protects High Landscape or Coastal Value areas (AHLVs) unless no harm to character or location essential. Site in AHLV; visible roadside structures despite earth bank/hedging would harm landscape quality, no essential need overriding protection.
Environment Policy 15
Permits agricultural buildings if need outweighs countryside restriction, sited near building groups, appropriate scale/siting, sympathetic to landscape; exceptional cases near highways need landscaping. Even if need proven, isolated position next to highway, prominent despite mitigation (conifers not native), scale excessive for site; no established farm holding.
Do not oppose, has no traffic management, parking or road safety implications
