Why it was refused

Schedule 2, Part 6, Class A.1 (a) permits agricultural development on units of 5 hectares or more or on separate parcel of land forming part of the unit which is not less than 1 hectare. Insufficient information has been submitted to enable the Local Planning Authority to determine whether the proposed development complies with the requirements of Schedule 2, Part 6, Class A.1(a) of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended). In particular, no details have been provided regarding the extent of the agricultural holding or whether the application site forms part of a separate parcel of land constituting an agricultural unit of at least 1 hectare. Submitted information indicates that the building will be located on a parcel of land less than 1 ha but more than 0.4 ha and therefore the application fails to comply with Schedule 2, Part 6, Class A.1 (a) of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 and thus does not constitute as permitted development. As a result, the Local Planning Authority is unable to establish whether the proposal benefits from permitted development rights. Accordingly, the proposal fails to demonstrate compliance with Schedule 2, Part 6, Class A.1(a) of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended). 5 Application form, plans and documents The following application form, plans and documents form part of this notice.
