Why it was refused

  1. The proposed development would not fall within the definition of agricultural land required within Part 6, D1 and would not be eligible for consideration under Part 6, Class A. In addition, the proposal would not be reasonably necessary for the purposes of agriculture within that unit as required by Part 6, Class A. As a result, the proposed buildings could not be permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 6, Class A of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015, as amended. In assessing the siting of the development in accordance with Schedule 2, Part 6, Class A.2(2)(i) of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015, as amended, the siting of the proposed buildings would result in a large and urbanising form of development within open fields that would be prominent and noticeable within its setting. Accordingly, Prior Approval is Required and Refused.

From the council's decision notice.
