Why it was refused
- Prior approval is refused for the conversion of the application building to 2 no. dwelling houses, as there is strong evidence to show that the building has not been in sole use for agricultural purposes and there is not a safe access to the public highway to serve the proposed dwelling. Furthermore, as there would be no private amenity space to serve the proposed dwellings, the site is undesirable and impracticable to be converted to residential use. The proposal would not meet with the qualifying criteria Q.1 (a), (b) and (p) as well as the condition Q2 (e) of Class Q and therefore would not be permitted development under Part 3 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order.
From the council's decision notice.
