(c) the likely impact of the proposed development on vegetation, soil resources and stability and water resources (including the quality of water courses, ground water storage and riparian rights), and

(d) the effect of the proposed development on the structure and nature of agricultural industries in the area, and

(e) the cumulative effect of similar proposals if consent is granted, and

(f) the likelihood of the land remaining available to agriculture, and

(g) the impact that the proposed development will have on the scenic quality of the Jamberoo Valley by way of colour, bulk, vegetation removal, road access, visual intrusiveness, reflection and traffic generation, and is satisfied that such measures as will, in its opinion, minimise that impact are proposed to be taken.
