Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether there is a demonstrable agricultural need for the proposals in connection with a viable farming business sufficient to justify development in the open countryside
- the effect of the proposals on the rural character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The absence of demonstrable agricultural need for the bale storage building proportionate to a viable farming business, combined with the significant harm to rural character and appearance that would result from the scale, design and siting of the development.
The limited renewable energy benefits from solar panels on the proposed buildings did not outweigh the significant harm to rural character and appearance and the conflict with development plan policies requiring development in the countryside to be proportionate to viable farming enterprises.
