2.
Where will the dwelling be located? – Where is the dwelling in relation to the other dwellings and curtilage? Are there other structures on the property? Will land be taken out of production for the purpose of the rural workers dwelling?
3.
Need– Council is going to look carefully at the need for a rural workers dwelling because it is important that the dwelling should not simply become a second dwelling.
