Protection of public views of the sea
The policy protects non-designated countryside from new development. The officer assessed the proposal as creating a new dwelling on an undesignated site, directly contrary to the Order's provisions restricting residential development in open countryside.
Planning Circular 1/88 Residential Housing in the Country
This circular restricts new houses in the countryside except in exceptional cases with strong justification. No such information was provided, and the proposal was deemed speculative with no agricultural or other justification.
Planning Circular 3/89 Renovation of Buildings in the Countryside
The circular allows renovation/conversion of certain rural buildings but not where a completely new dwelling is created. The existing outbuilding (tractor house) was ineligible, and the scheme absorbs it into a new two-storey cottage.
