Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal satisfies national and local planning policy requirements to demonstrate the essential need for an agricultural worker's dwelling
- the effect of the proposal on the rural landscape character of the surrounding area
What decided it
The Inspector's finding, on the balance of probabilities, that the appellant would likely lose access to the Green Farm farmhouse and that it would be unreasonable to wait for a formal notice to quit before granting permission for the essential agricultural worker's dwelling.
the likely future loss of accommodation at Green Farm and the need for orderly business relocation, together with little weight from the housing land supply shortfall, outweighed the reduced weight attached to the farmhouse's continued current availability
