DM1 General Requirements

I reaffirm my comments on the Draft document made on 16/12/16 in particular:
to replace the verb 'must' with should, which would also be consistent with para. 2.1.1 and at the very least include 'as applicable' in an emboldened opening clause.

New Policy: DM25 New Agricultural Buildings (including Sustainability Appraisal)
Please make your comments in the box below, making it clear which policy or document your response relates to.

DM18 Tourist Accommodation
Please make your comments in the box below, making it clear which policy or document your response relates to.
This is too restrictive, especially as the locations visitors want to stay in are rural and where sufficient land can be available and be affordable to the entrepreneur, who are not just farmers.
