General Policy 2
Requires development in accordance with zoning to respect site/surroundings in siting/layout/scale/design/landscaping, not adversely affect landscape character, wildlife/habitats, amenity, access/safety, or prejudice adjoining land. Officer assessed proposal fails as it loses intended open space screen/amenity, extends built development and managed landscaping northward contrary to original Castleward Green intent and Local Plan designations.
Strategic Policy 1
Requires optimising previously developed land, efficient site use, location utilising infrastructure/services. Officer noted site previously found unsustainable (PA 04/00966/B) due to distance to amenities, lack of public transport, encouraging private car use.
Strategic Policy 2 - Priority for new development to identified towns and villages
New development primarily in towns/villages or sustainable urban extensions; countryside only in exceptional cases. Officer considered site in open countryside despite partial Residential zoning.
No objection; prepared to adopt proposed open space if suitable; does not oppose as it provides alternative open space
