All date received 31/08/2023 84326 CUR ZZ XX D S 00002 Rev 02 - Location Plan

date received 5/02/2024 NOTE The applicant is to be reminded to ensure suitable protection of the ditch and watercourse during the construction works and not to allow any harmful materials to enter. The applicant may be required to complete a separate 9m watercourse form and submit to DEFA. This decision has been made for the following reasons(s) The proposals are not considered to result in any permanent loss of any high quality agricultural land, are considered to be of an acceptable scale in this case and being for private use only. Whilst isolated in comparison to some, these types of agricultural buildings and timber stables are not uncommon across the countryside and given the siting in the dip would not adversely impact the overall character of the rural setting in line with the principles of Environment Policy 1. In addition the buildings are considered to have an acceptable visual impact and of scale, size, material finish and design fit for their required purposes only and of no cavity construction and would therefore meet the tests of Environment Policies 14, 19, 20 and 21. While the meshing works would see a new material in an agricultural field it is expected the grass can permeate through and the overall impact is not considered to be so harmful as to warrant a refusal in this case also minded that such mesh can be removed and the land reversed to its original state should it be required. The level of pipe works proposed is not considered unreasonable and not adversely impacting on the overall ditch or its watercourse.
