The PPG7 criteria stipulate that rural developments must be 'exceptional', causing many developers to despair that they will never meet the strict criteria. However, a scheme in open countryside near Great Dunmow in Essex has recently been given the go-ahead, sending a message to developers that it is possible to meet the criteria. Explains why this case succeeded. Also offers advice on how to set about meeting the planning criteria and winning planning appeals.
