Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development scheme for the 1 No. detached self build agricultural workers dwelling is in a location outside of the settlement boundary, within the countryside, and there is insufficient information provided to support the financial viability of the wider agricultural enterprise and that there is an essential need for a permanent agricultural workers dwelling in this location. The principle of the development and the essential need for the 1 no. permanent agricultural workers dwelling has therefore not been justified, and as such, the scheme is therefore contrary to East Staffordshire Local Plan Policies SP1, SP8 and SP14 and Policies S5 and HO11 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
  2. Insufficient information has been submitted to enable the Local Planning Authority to undertake a fully informed assessment of the biodiversity and ecology impacts of the proposal. As such the application has not demonstrated that the development would not have a detrimental impact on the biodiversity and ecology of the site and therefore the proposed development is contrary to Policy SP29 of the East Staffordshire Local Plan and Policy N2 of the National Planning Policy Framework.

From the council's decision notice.
