                         environmental features of the zone; and
                    b. Visitor accommodation which complements rural uses and promotes
                         the sustainable use of rural land.

                    with Performance Outcome PO25 of the Visitor Accommodation Code as
                    it will result in an unreasonable loss of residential amenity because of a
                    likely increase in noise to adjoining properties.
