Piecemeal Development
8.3 Land resources are finite, and the extent to which development may occur is further restricted by elements such as topography, Green Belt, and the need to ensure appropriate standards of development in the interests of amenity. It is therefore essential that any developable land be put to the most efficient use. However, this should not unnecessarily restrict or prejudice the further general development of adjoining or nearby land that is potentially developable and allocated for such purposes. Therefore the following Part One Policy will apply to all development proposals:-
POLICY GBE 2
PIECEMEAL DEVELOPMENT
PLANNING PERMISSION WILL NOT BE GRANTED FOR THE PIECEMEAL DEVELOPMENT OF LAND WHICH WOULD PREJUDICE THE DEVELOPMENT OF A LARGER AREA OF LAND FOR AN APPROPRIATE BENEFICIAL USE AS INDICATED ON THE PROPOSALS MAP.
