Refused

Core Refusal Reason

The application was refused due to non-compliance with a previous enurement clause, road safety concerns regarding intensified access onto a regional road, and insufficient justification for the agricultural structures and internal roadway.

Decision Maker's Conclusion

  • The applicant failed to demonstrate compliance with the enurement clause attached to the parent permission (Pl. Ref. 19/1540), which restricts occupancy to specific categories of persons such as the applicant's family or those involved in local agriculture.
  • The proposed development would result in the intensified use of two accesses onto a regional road (R-347), posing an unacceptable risk to traffic safety and contravening DM Standard 28 and Policy Objective NNR2.
  • Insufficient information was provided regarding farm management, animal types, and effluent storage capacity, meaning the planning authority could not justify the principle of the stables and extensive internal roadway at the rear of the site.
