- The proposed shed would be constructed in isolation from existing farm buildings on an exposed site, resulting in serious injury to the visual and scenic amenities of the area.
- The proposal would obstruct coastal views from a nearby scenic route and materially contravene policy objectives regarding landscape protection and scenic route preservation.
