It is established planning policy, at both national and local level, that new development should be permitted outside established settlements in exceptional circumstances only. These circumstances normally relate to where new development has a strong relationship with the operational requirements of agricultural or other land based businesses. The application site is located in the countryside and relates to a proposal which, in terms of its use, fails to meet any of the specified circumstances which support sustainable rural economic development.
