Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether there is sufficient justification for an agricultural workers dwelling at the site, having regard to national and local planning policies which seek to restrict development within the countryside

What decided it

It had not been demonstrated that there was an essential need to locate the beef cattle element of the business, and therefore the rural worker's dwelling, specifically at the appeal site rather than elsewhere in the business.
