Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development is justified
- Its effect on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The lack of justification for the development, evidenced by the building's unsuitability for agricultural storage, prior unauthorised B8 use, and absence of evidence of genuine agricultural need, conflicted with the development plan requirement for justification and could not be outweighed by any material considerations.
