What is 'local' for Planning Permission

Jesper

I'm finding it hard to find a definition on what 'local' is for planning permission on a semi rural site. There is a site with approved planning for sale but the advert says must be 'local'. I have asked him what local is and he has said 10km but I don't know if he is only guessing.

Local Area: Local area is defined as within approximately 10km from the site, excluding defined
urban areas. Where the site is of a greater distance but the applicant can demonstrate
significant ties with the area for example immediate family or well established landownership
then these applications will be considered on their merits.

also....
"semi rural" is a bit of a misnomer... its either rural or its not.

the usual factors in determining this is:
1. does the site have a zoning
2. can it connect to a public foul water sewer


if the answer to both of these is 'no' then its rural.
