General Policy 3
Prohibits development outside zoned areas except in eight specific cases (e.g., agricultural housing, redundant conversions, replacements); officer found none apply to this new dwelling, confirming countryside presumption against development.
Environment Policy 2
Uses 1982 AHLV classification for control until superseded; protects landscape character unless no harm shown or location essential. Site's AHLV zoning and potential intrusion into open field outweighed claims of low visual impact/topography screening.
Housing Policy 4
Locates new housing in towns/villages or identified extensions; countryside exceptions mirror GP3 and do not apply. No Area Plan zones site, rejecting village/infill status.
No strong objection; proposed site fits into existing settlement pattern as potential infill along Loop Road, but defer to Planning Officer/Committee re: policy compliance. Would object strongly to backland/sporadic development.
