Why it was refused

  1. In the opinion of the Local Planning Authority, the proposed removal of Condition 3 of 1/0514/2010/FUL would fundamentally alter the nature of the permitted development and would be inconsistent in a material way with the operative part of the original permission. In any case, the Applicant has failed to demonstrate an identified agricultural need and thus the Condition remains relevant and necessary to the development permitted. The Local Planning Authority recommend refusal in accordance with relevant Case Law (Finney v Welsh Ministers & Ors [2019] and R (Fiske) v Test Valley Borough Council [2023]) and Section 73 (2(b)) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.

From the council's decision notice.
