Strategic Policy 1
Requires optimising previously developed land and efficient site use utilising infrastructure. Officer noted site as under-used but still countryside, not zoned, so policy directs development to towns/villages first.
Strategic Policy 2 - Priority for new development to identified towns and villages
New development primarily in towns/villages or sustainable extensions; countryside only in exceptional cases. Site not in village, so failed; groups of houses to be assessed in future Area Plans, not ad hoc.
General Policy 3
Prohibits development outside zoned areas except listed exceptions (e.g. ag worker housing). Proposal lacked any exception like agricultural need or redundant building conversion.
Environment Policy 2
Protects High Landscape Value areas unless no harm or essential location. New dwelling would harm character; nearby prison and ag dwelling allowed under other policies but this general house not essential.
Housing Policy 4
New countryside housing only for ag workers, conversions, or replacements. No matching exception; prison housing need unproven and not overriding; infill not permitted.
no objection
Do not oppose subject to off street parking provision and visibility splays of 2.4 metres x 90 metres
