Why it was refused

  1. The proposal would result in the loss of a dwelling subject to an agricultural occupancy restriction to ensure that the dwelling caters for a specific local need. Insufficient justification has been provided for the removal of the restriction or to demonstrate that it is no longer required, with no clear assessment of ongoing need for agricultural/ forestry workers in the locality, no clear explanation or plans of any associated agricultural land use or ownership, and an insufficient/inaccurate marketing exercise. This is considered contrary to the requirements of Policies G1 (Our approach towards sustainable development and growth), G2 (Priority locations for housing development and growth), H1 (Delivering the housing we need), H6 (New homes in the countryside outside of the settlement boundaries) and E4 (Supporting the rural economy) of the Island Planning Strategy and Policies DM6 (Use of planning conditions and obligations), S3 (Presumption in favour of sustainable development), S5 (Principle of development outside settlements) and HO11 (Isolated homes in the countryside) of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF).

From the council's decision notice.
