PLANNING ADVICE NOTE: PAN 73: RURAL DIVERSIFICATION
Conclusion
61. There are a host of new and expanding businesses adding vibrancy and vitality to our rural areas. This diversification of the rural economy presents a number of issues for planners, especially in relation to accessibility, infrastructure, scale, landscape and design, but a helpful and realistic approach to the needs of businesses can lead to sustainable outcomes with benefits to the economy, environment and rural communities. This PAN demonstrates that through positive planning policies and sensitive development control decisions, the planning system is making our rural areas more attractive places for people to live and work in.
