Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the location or siting of the building would make it impractical or undesirable for it to change from agricultural use to a use falling within Class C3, with particular regard to noise and odour
What decided it
The very close proximity of the proposed dwellings and their curtilages to the remaining agricultural buildings and farm access would make it undesirable for the building to change to residential use, as future intensive agricultural activities could cause significant noise and odour disturbance to occupiers.
What the Inspector cited
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 130
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
