Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the retention of the dwelling unit is justified by the needs of the business at the site, having regard to policies which seek to restrict development in the countryside
What decided it
The appellant failed to provide convincing financial evidence that the business could become viable within three years and did not demonstrate that alternative accommodation was unavailable locally, so the essential need for a rural worker's dwelling was not established.
Insufficient evidence of essential business need and financial viability meant the countryside-protection policies prevailed, with no other considerations found to outweigh this conflict with the development plan.
