Why it was refused
- The Local Planning Authority has identified areas of imported and compacted aggregate on the land which are not disclosed within the application. In the absence of information regarding the nature, extent, purpose and relationship of those works to the proposal, the Authority cannot conclude that the development complies with the limitations contained within Class A.1(e) and Class A.1(h) of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (as amended).
- The proposed fully clad design is unsuitable for the storage of fodder as identified on the submitted layout plan because adequate ventilation would not be provided. Accordingly, the design is not compatible with the stated operational requirements of the agricultural unit. As such, the proposal is therefore contrary to Part A.2 (2) (i) of Part 6, of Schedule 2, of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (as amended).
