Why it was refused

  1. The application fails to demonstrate that the agricultural business generates sufficient work to justify the need for an agricultural worker to live on site or to be the applicant’s main source of work. The submission confirms that the applicant currently lives within walking distance of the site without justifying why their existing property is not suitable, so fails to justify the need to live on site. The financial information confirms that the business has not been established for 3 or more years, has not been profitable for at least one year or that it is financially sound to justify development within the open countryside. As such the proposal is contrary to Local Plan Policy HS6 b), d), e), and f) and SP4. It is also contrary to the principle of Local Plan Policy HS6 a).

From the council's decision notice.
