Why it was refused

  1. The application conflicts with criteria (i) as set out under Class A, Part 6, Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended). The development would consist of the erection of a new agricultural barn and would be within 400m of the curtilage of protected buildings. On this basis, the proposed works do not constitute permitted development under Class A, Part 6, Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended).

From the council's decision notice.
