General Policy 3
Permits replacement dwellings in countryside as exception; complied as existing habitable dwelling not abandoned/historic.
Environment Policy 1
Protects countryside; curtilage extension into ag land noted but low impact due to topography/screening and estate evolution.
Environment Policy 41
Requires archaeological evaluation; conditioned pre-commencement due to prehistoric potential.
