Approval date	22-08-2014

1. Background

The Design and Guidance document primarily seeks to address the challenges and assist the agricultural industry especially in the light of the growing number of European and national environmental requirements and obligations affecting land-use and agriculture. The new Rural Policy also seeks to better reflect the existing and genuine needs of farmers.
The new policy document clearly states that any proposed development which would have an unacceptable adverse impact on the conservation value of any scheduled or protected area of ecological, scientific, landscape, cultural or archaeological value will not be permitted.
