Why it was refused

  1. Condition 2 of permission N.I.6134 states that "The bungalow shall be used by persons whose employment is or was employment in agriculture as defined by section 119 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1947". The applicant has submitted a statutory declaration which confirms that he was previously employed within agriculture, as per the requirements of the condition. It is therefore considered that, on the balance of probabilities, the applicant has not demonstrated that that the application site has been occupied in breach of condition 2 of planning approval ref N.I.6134 for a continuous period of more than ten years prior to the date of this application.

From the council's decision notice.
