Why it was refused
- The development is not permitted by Class A, Part 6, Schedule 2 of the General Permitted Development Order, because the development would not be carried out on ‘agricultural land’ (land in use for agriculture and which is so used for the purposes of a trade or business) comprised in an agricultural unit of 5 ha or more. Moreover, the application fails to demonstrate that the proposed building is reasonably necessary for the purposes of agriculture. The development fails to meet and is not be provided for by the limits set out at Class A, Part 6, Schedule 2 of the Town and County (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended).
From the council's decision notice.
