Why it was refused

  1. The proposed Prior Notification for an agricultural storage building on land North of Sheffield Road, Chapel-En-Le-Frith has been assessed against the criteria as set out in the Town and Country (General Permitted Development) Order 2015; concluding that the proposed agricultural building is not reasonably necessary for the purposes of agriculture, trade or business, nor is the Local Planning Authority satisfied that the land is within an agricultural use, or the land forms part of an established agricultural unit. Accordingly the agricultural building as proposed is contrary to Schedule 2, Part 6, Class A, A.1(a), A.1(b), and A.1(d) of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (as amended).

From the council's decision notice.
