Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether there is an essential need for a rural worker to live permanently at or near their place of work in the countryside, having regard to the needs of the business and the aims of national and local planning policy which seek to avoid isolated homes in the countryside
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the development provides acceptable living conditions with regard to the provision of internal space
- The effect of the development on the living conditions of the occupiers with regard to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The absence of sufficient evidence to establish an essential functional need for permanent residential accommodation for an agricultural worker at the site, combined with the harmful effect on character and appearance and failure to provide acceptable living conditions.
