Business Policy 1
Encourages employment growth if according with other policies. Failed due to conflict with countryside protection and lack of zoning.
General Policy 2
Requires respect for surroundings (b), no adverse landscape impact (c), no harm to wildlife/habitats (d), no amenity harm (g), safe access (h,i), no prejudice to adjoining land (k). Failed on visual incongruity of marquees, noise to neighbours, biodiversity risks, and sustainability.
Environment Policy 1
Protects countryside unless overriding national need. Marquees and uses harm countryside without justification or alternative.
Environment Policy 2
Protects Areas of High Landscape Value. Marquees detrimental to character in such area; not essential and would harm quality.
Environmental Policy 22
Prevents harm from noise/light pollution. Marquee events risk unacceptable noise in open countryside without mitigation.
Community Policy 2
Community facilities in accessible locations reusing buildings. Site unsustainable, car-dependent, not serving local population well.
