Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the site is part of an established agricultural unit
- Whether the existing building, including any proposed building operations, would not be capable of complying with the nationally described space standard
- Whether the location or siting of the building makes it otherwise impractical or undesirable for the building to change from agricultural use to a dwelling
What decided it
The proposal failed to comply with the nationally described space standard and the location was impractical and undesirable due to its close siting relative to the adjacent farmhouse.
