General Policy 3
Requires development only in zoned areas except for specific cases including replacement of existing rural dwellings (Housing Policies 12,13,14). Officer confirmed the proposal qualifies as this exception since the site has an existing dwelling, allowing principle approval outside zoned development areas.
Housing Policy 4
Permits new housing in countryside only in exceptional cases including replacement of existing rural dwellings (HP12-14). The existing dwelling at Clypse Lodge met this criterion, supporting the principle of replacement.
Housing Policy 12
Permits replacement of countryside dwellings unless abandoned or of architectural/historic interest capable of renovation. No evidence of abandonment (via structural condition, non-use >10 years, etc.) or special interest was noted, so replacement principle acceptable.
Housing Policy 14
Governs details of permitted replacements (siting, size not substantially different, design matching traditional character). Not assessed at AIP stage; reserved matters application will be tested against this policy, including floor area limits and environmental improvements.
