Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal is required for the purposes of agriculture with regard to the Local Plan policies relating to the principle of development
What decided it
The poor design of the building, which does not present as appropriately designed for its purported agricultural purpose and incorporates characteristics more commonly associated with non-agricultural development, combined with insufficient evidence of the nature, scale and extent of agricultural activities to justify the structure.
The benefits of approving the proposal would be substantially outweighed by the adverse effects identified in terms of failing to result in appropriate design
