Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal represents an appropriate form of development having regard to development plan policy on new buildings for agricultural use in the open countryside

What decided it

The proposed building, whilst constructed in brick and tiles, has not been deliberately designed to be easily converted to non-agricultural use, and practical constraints would prevent such conversion, making it compliant with Policy RUR1 and appropriate development in the open countryside.
