Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Appeal A: the effect of the proposed agricultural building on the character and appearance of the Dartmoor National Park landscape
  • Appeal B: whether there is an essential need for a dwelling to accommodate a rural worker
  • Appeal B: whether foul and surface water from the development site would be adequately dealt with
  • Appeal B: whether the proposal would make adequate provision for the principles of sustainable construction and good design

What decided it

Appeal A turned on the absence of landscape harm; Appeal B turned on the failure to satisfy the financial test for an essential agricultural need, compounded by inadequate drainage and design.

Appeal A: no harm identified, so the proposal accorded with the development plan as a whole; Appeal B: the benefits of one new house, economic benefits during construction and family welfare considerations did not outweigh the conflict with the development plan as a whole.
