Why it was refused
- The proposal is considered to fail to demonstrate, on the balance of probabilities that the Long Barn is an ancillary building to The Hellands and as such the proposed use of the Long Barn as accommodation would result in development permission and is therefore not considered a lawful use.
- The proposal is deemed to be imprecise in its proposal and information submitted to which the Local Planning Authority are unable to reach a judgement on the existing and proposed lawful use of the site and on those ground refuse to issue a Lawful Development Certificate.
From the council's decision notice.
