General Policy 3
Requires development only in zoned areas except for specific exceptions like essential agricultural housing (Housing Policies 7-10). Officer assessed no evidence of viable agricultural need or compliance with functional/location tests; 4ha insufficient holding.
Strategic Policy 1
Development must optimise previously developed land and utilise infrastructure. Site is greenfield countryside, failing efficient resource use.
Strategic Policy 2 - Priority for new development to identified towns and villages
New development primarily in towns/villages; countryside only in exceptional para 6.3 cases. Proposal lacks exception, being unwarranted rural housing.
Spatial Policy 5
New development in defined settlements; countryside per GP3. Site outside settlements in white land.
Strategic Policy 10
Promote integrated transport minimising car journeys. Site car-dependent on strategic A3 route.
Environment Policy 1
Protect countryside/ecology unless overriding national need with no alternative. No such need demonstrated.
Housing Policy 4
Implied restriction on new countryside housing; failed alongside other housing policies for agricultural need.
Had no objection to previous refused proposal but suggested applicant provide supporting information on agricultural activities for justification
