Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would meet an essential need for a rural worker to live permanently at the appeal site
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of future occupants
- Whether the proposed development would be in a suitable location, having regard to the accessibility of services and facilities
What decided it
The failure to demonstrate that the essential need for a rural worker could not be satisfied by existing properties in the area, combined with insufficient financial evidence of business viability and the unsustainable location remote from services and facilities.
