Why it was refused

  1. The proposal is not considered to be a rural enterprise as the dog breeding business is not land related or a use which is fundamentally reliant on a rural countryside location. Furthermore, even if the proposal was considered as a rural enterprise, it is considered that the proposal fails to demonstrate that the time test, financial test, and other dwelling test in regard to rural enterprise dwelling appraisals, as set out in Technical Advice Note 6, are satisfied. The proposal would therefore represent an unjustified and unsustainably located form of development within the countryside at odds with the provisions of Local Development Plan Policy MD1 (Location of New Development), and also fails to accord with guidance set out in Planning Policy Wales Edition 12 and TAN 6.

From the council's decision notice.
