ObjectionThe size of the existing dwelling and the half-acre garden is large by any agricultural dwelling standard. As now proposed it will be far larger than many private rural dwellings, and certainly of a value such that it is unlikely to be affordable by any agricultural worker.; To now approve this increase in size would be inconsistent and inequitable to previous applicants.; If this is approved it will demonstrate undue favouritism to Mr Teare that is not accorded to other applicants, and will be an unfortunate precedent.
