Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would comply with the conditions and limitations of Class A of Part 6 to Schedule 2 of the Order, with particular regard to whether they would be carried out on agricultural land, within an agricultural unit, and are reasonably necessary for the purposes of agriculture within the unit
  • if so, whether prior approval can be given having regard to the siting, design, and external appearance of the proposal

What decided it

The siting of the proposed building would be unacceptably prominent within the field and visible from the Public Right of Way, causing harmful incursion into the rural character of the area, failing to meet the prior approval condition for siting, design and external appearance.
