The officer determined the proposal unacceptable primarily due to its significant detrimental impact on the visual amenities and character of the countryside, zoned as High Landscape or Coastal Value …
General Policy 3
Restricts countryside development outside zoned areas except specific cases like essential agricultural buildings. Officer noted site zoning requires exception justification, which farm shop failed as not essential for agriculture/forestry and no overriding need.
Environment Policy 2
Protects High Landscape or Coastal Value areas unless development causes no harm or location essential. Assessed proposal's bank removal, driveway and shop as harming landscape character; no essential location proven.
Environment Policy 15
New agricultural/horticultural buildings only if need outweighs countryside policy, sited near groups, sympathetic, and exceptionally screened if near highways. Found siting too close to road, lacking exceptional justification, with significant alterations.
Environment Policy 17
