Why it was refused
- The site is a planning unit comprising of a mixed use of agriculture and some other primary use (Fishery). In addition the application site comprises less than 1ha parcel of land and an agricultural unit of 5ha of land has not been demonstrated. On that basis the proposal does not benefit from permitted development as it conflicts with Schedule 2, Part 6, Class A of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 and planning permission is required.
From the council's decision notice.
