Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether or not there is an essential functional need for an agricultural worker to live on the site.

What decided it

The appellant demonstrated an essential functional need for a worker to be sited close to the poultry unit to respond swiftly to unpredictable, time-critical bird welfare issues.

The essential functional need for the temporary agricultural workers' dwelling was demonstrated, the proposal accorded with the development plan as a whole, and there were no other considerations outweighing this finding.
