Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the appeal site provides a suitable location for the development, with regard to the Council's spatial strategy

What decided it

The building is genuinely redundant for agricultural purposes due to subsidy changes, and the conversion to employment use constitutes supported farm diversification that would not result in an unsustainable location or unacceptable visual impact.
