®Planning appeal decision
Morse Farm, Morse Road, Gloucester, GL17 9AJ
Planning appeal 3342413 at Morse Farm, Morse Road, Gloucester, GL17 9AJ (Forest of Dean District Council) was allowed on 24 September 2024 by Inspector Rogers J, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: whether the proposed development is necessary for or is to be used solely for agricultural purposes.
Previously we have made a planning application for a shed to store hay and straw which was turned down due to lack of information, also the look of the building, so we have taken notice of this and change the look to more in keeping with the area. We need this urgently now because of the weather the animals are suffering due to standing on wet ground, they also need to be brought in which will be a third of the building. Gloucestershire Trading Standards requires these animals to be brought in off the ground until the weather improves. You will be able to see the design of the building is now much more in keeping with other buildings on the farm we have also made sure it is far enough away from the road and far enough away from any habitable buildings and ponds
