Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether there is an essential functional need for a permanent dwelling on site for a worker to support the smallholding.

What decided it

The appellant failed to clearly demonstrate an essential functional need for a permanent dwelling to support a financially sustainable smallholding business, as required by Policy RA4.

The local employment, economic, environmental and community benefits of the smallholding did not outweigh the failure to demonstrate essential functional need and the resulting conflict with Policy RA4.

What the Inspector cited

Policy RA4
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 80
