Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the location and siting of the building would make it undesirable for the proposed dwellinghouse use, with particular regard to the effects of disturbance and odour on the living conditions of future occupiers

What decided it

The imposition of an agricultural occupancy condition restricting the dwelling to occupation by a person solely or mainly working in agriculture at the farm and their dependants would ensure the intended occupiers have control over sources of disturbance and a compatible lifestyle, thereby making the location and siting acceptable for residential use.
