General Policy 3
Requires development outside zoned areas only in specified exceptions, including 'building and engineering operations which are essential for the conduct of agriculture'. Officer assessed agricultural need via DEFA advice confirming space shortfall for dairy enterprise, qualifying the extension as an exception.
Environment Policy 2
Protects Areas of High Landscape or Coastal Value and Scenic Significance (AHLV), permitting development only if no harm to character/quality or location essential. Site just within AHLV; extension's siting adjoining existing barn of similar visibility found not to harm landscape character.
Environment Policy 15
Permits agricultural buildings where need outweighs countryside policy, sited close to building groups, appropriate scale/form/materials sympathetic to landscape, with care near residences. Extension sited adjoining existing barn in farm group; scale appropriate; distant from residences; DEFA-confirmed need tipped balance despite AHLV location.
Time limit
The development hereby permitted shall commence before the expiration of four years from the date of this notice.
