- does not result in the loss of productive agricultural land, in particular that of grade 1, 2 or 3a;
- protects areas important for their landscape value (particularly for historic landscapes) or nature conservation value and improves areas of despoiled or poor quality landscape;
- Is satisfactory in terms of access and traffic impact on the surrounding area;
- is of a scale, siting and design such that the character and open nature of the area is not impaired; and
- is accompanied by full details of the site and of the impact of the development proposed, including any effects on public rights of way.
