    <summary type="html">&lt;p&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; I'm currently working on writing a DM policy about rural economic development.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Para 25 of the NPPF states that the .... 'sequential approach should not be applied to applications for small scale rural offices or other small scale rural development.'&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; I would be interested to know how others have interpretated the term small scale.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; Additionally the term 'rural'&amp;nbsp;is open to interpretation.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;Should the term 'rural' be interpretated to mean anything outside of a defined urban boundary?&amp;nbsp; Or can rural market towns with a defined urban boundary be considered to be rural&amp;nbsp;with respect to para 25 of the NPPF if they are considered to be inextricably linked to the surrouding rural area they serve.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; .&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</summary>
