Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the stable block and hay barn are necessary for the functioning of the countryside or otherwise appropriate to the open countryside
- Whether the development would be detrimental to the character or appearance of the open countryside
- Whether the development would be detrimental to residential amenity
- Whether the steps required by the enforcement notice are excessive (ground f)
- Whether more time should be allowed for compliance (ground g)
What decided it
The absence of any evidenced justification for the development and the failure to demonstrate that unacceptable impacts on the neighbouring property could be avoided meant the proposal was clearly contrary to the development plan's countryside protection policies.
The planning history and need for consistency in decision-making were outweighed by the conflicts with countryside protection policies, the lack of demonstrated need for the buildings, and the unresolved impacts on residential amenity.
