Why it was refused
- In the absence of sufficient evidence, it has not been demonstrated that the land is or ever has been agricultural land as defined in Paragraph D.1 of Schedule 2, Part 6 of the Town, and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended). Owing to the design and layout of the building, together with the lack of sufficient evidence, the application fails to demonstrate that the proposed development is reasonably necessary for purposes of agriculture. Further the siting and appearance of the building are not considered acceptable, as there is no justified need for an agricultural building in this location. The proposal has not demonstrated compliance with limitation A and A.1 (d) of paragraph A of Schedule 2, Part 6, Class A of the Town, and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended) and would not constitute permitted development.
From the council's decision notice.
