Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be in a suitable location having particular regard to the local development strategy and whether there is an essential functional need for a rural worker dwelling
- whether the proposed development would provide adequate living conditions for future occupiers, with particular regard to outlook, amenity space, noise disturbance and odour
What decided it
The proposal fails to demonstrate an essential functional need for a rural worker dwelling as required by Policy LPP38 and NPPF paragraph 80, and would not provide adequate living conditions for future occupants.
Framework references: 80, 130
Plan policies cited: Policy LPP1, Policy LPP38, Policy LPP47, Policy LPP52
