Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the location or siting of the building makes it undesirable to change from agricultural use to a use falling within Class C3 (dwellinghouses), having particular regard to disturbance from noise and odour
What decided it
The very close proximity of the proposed houses and their garden areas to the large barns in active agricultural use means that the location and siting of the building makes it undesirable to change to residential use due to potential disturbance from noise and odour, and the overbearing effect of the high barn roofs.
