        rural character and amenity of the

        connections through the use of
        sensitive and traditional building
        forms; and
 iii.   integrated into the landform and
        landscape;

l) Residential development,         for   both

        scale within densely landscaped
        settings; and

and the need to dispose of effluent on site;

where they are consistent with the amenity
of the locality and environmental qualities;

appropriate visitor accommodation and
other tourism development are compatible
with, promote and enhance landscape
