Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the agricultural tie continues to serve any useful planning purpose
What decided it
The property's high value and limited associated farmland make it unaffordable to agricultural workers and unsuitable for its original purpose, while more appropriate dwellings are available nearby and there is no demonstrated demand for agricultural dwellings in the area.
