- Authority

- Appeal type
- minor · Planning Appeal
- Procedure
- Written Representations
- Development
- agricultural · Minor general industry/storage/warehousing
- Inspector
- Redford R
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The living conditions of neighbouring residents with specific regard to noise and disturbance
- Biodiversity
- The safety of users of the adjacent bridleway
What decided it
The barn's use for agricultural purposes only would not intensify site use beyond what is reasonably expected from the lawful agricultural use, whereas the rural contracting business element lacked sufficient evidence to demonstrate it would not cause unacceptable harm to neighbouring living conditions and bridleway safety.
