JLP Team continue to be proactive, working with DM colleagues and applicants to support appropriate commercial proposals . The way we apply all of our policies in regard to the rural economy, including TTV1 and DEV15 is upheld regularly at appeal OFFICIAL OFFICIAL QUESTION 2 Does the Development in the Countryside policy (TTV26) enable appropriate development to support the needs of agriculture? . The countryside is under pressure from a wider range of demands than ever before, including leisure, recreation, housing and employment . TTV26 seeks to protect the countryside from inappropriate development . The way we use TTV26 is being upheld regularly at appeal . However, the Use Class Order doesn’t give us the flexibility to recognise uses that are specifically within the agricultural supply chain . Opportunity to help define a clearer vision for the countryside, the rural economy and agriculture at upcoming Member engagement sessions . JLP Team to discuss with Cornwall Council how their draft agricultural development policy has been received OFFICIAL OFFICIAL QUESTION 3 What can be done to ensure full weight is given to JLP policies on air quality when considering future planning applications?
