Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

- whether the prior approval of the Council is required for the siting, design and external appearance of the proposed buildings
What decided it
The appellant failed to demonstrate that the proposed buildings would be reasonably necessary for the purposes of agriculture or forestry, as the farm already possesses adequate covered structures for these purposes and the appellant provided insufficient evidence of the necessity or ownership of the relevant agricultural or forestry activities.
