Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether or not the Council's decision to refuse the LDC was well founded

What decided it

The appellants failed to demonstrate on the balance of probabilities that they had not been solely or mainly employed in agriculture for a continuous 10-year period prior to the application, as evidenced by their own planning applications in 2005 and 2016 confirming continued agricultural involvement.
