Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether having regard to local and national planning policies there is a need for the proposed agricultural storage barn
- the effect of the proposed agricultural storage barn and associated access on the area's landscape character
What decided it
The appellant failed to demonstrate a need for the agricultural storage barn in accordance with Policy DM8 and the National Planning Policy Framework, which was a fatal conflict with the development plan that could not be outweighed by the absence of landscape harm.
The lack of harm to landscape character and the conservation area setting did not outweigh the conflict with the development plan arising from the failure to demonstrate need for the agricultural storage barn.
