Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether there is an essential need for a rural worker to live at the appeal site

What decided it

The appellant failed to demonstrate an essential functional need for a worker to live permanently on site, given the uncertain financial viability of herd expansion and the availability of remote technology as an alternative to on-site supervision.

The small benefits of local spending and the absence of neighbour objections did not outweigh the failure to demonstrate an essential need for the dwelling, so the appeal was dismissed.
