General Policy 3
Requires development only in zoned areas except specific exceptions (e.g. agricultural housing, redundant building conversions, replacements). Officer found no exceptions applied to this new open-field dwelling, creating a strong presumption against it.
Environment Policy 1
Protects countryside outside settlements unless overriding national need with no alternative. Proposal adversely affects countryside with no such justification.
Environment Policy 2
Prioritises landscape character protection in High Landscape or Coastal Value areas unless no harm or essential location. New dwelling would harm character without meeting tests.
Housing Policy 4
Permits new countryside housing only for agricultural workers, redundant building conversions, or replacements. Proposal fits none of these exceptional circumstances.
