Why it was refused

  1. The applicant has failed to demonstrate that the proposed development would be carried out on an agricultural unit of 5 hectares or more and be reasonably necessary for the purposes of Agriculture. Accordingly, the proposed development fails to satisfy the requirements of Schedule 2, Part 6, Class A of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 and (Amendment) Order 2018.
  2. The proposed development would be used for accommodating livestock and sited within 400 metres of numerous protected buildings and would not meet any of the relevant exceptions which allow for such development. As such, the proposal fails to meet the requirements of Paragraphs A.1 (i) and D.1 (3) (a) & (b) (i) (ii) of Schedule 2, Part 6, Class A of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 and (Amendment) Order 2018. For the above reasons the proposal would not be permitted development and so there is no need to go on and consider the prior approval matters.

From the council's decision notice.
