10 General considerations for development within rural zones

(1) The Council shall not consent to an application to carry out development on land within Zone No 1 (a) or 1 (c) unless it has taken into consideration, if relevant, the effect of the carrying out of that development on:

(a) the present use of the land, the potential use of the land for the purposes of agriculture and the potential of any land which is prime crop and pasture land for sustained agricultural production, and

(b) vegetation, timber production, land capability (including soil resources and soil stability) and water resources (including the quality and stability of water courses and ground water storage and riparian rights), and

(c) the future extraction of known valuable deposits of minerals, coal, petroleum, sand, gravel or other extractive materials and localities considered to be prospective for those materials, and

(d) the protection of localities of significance for nature conservation or of high scenic or recreational value, and places and buildings of archaeological or heritage significance, including Aboriginal relics and places, and

(e) the cost of providing, extending and maintaining public amenities and services to the site of the development, and

(f) the future expansion of settlements in the locality.

(2) As well as the matters referred to in subclause (1), the Council shall take into consideration the relationship of the development to development on adjoining land and on other land in the locality.

(3) Subclause (1) does not apply to development consisting of:

(a) an addition to a building or work, or

(b) development ancillary to other development for which the consent of the Council has been granted, or
