BNE29 Farm Shops

Farm shops will be permitted if they:

  1. help maintain agriculture as the main land use on a farm holding; and
  2. are sympathetic to the rural environment in their scale, design and use of materials, such that they do not detract from the visual amenity of the locality; and
  3. do not undermine the viability of a nearby village shop, and do not result in traffic effects that damage rural amenity or highway safety.
