Erection of an agricultural building

Refusal Reasons

• ✗The proposed building would by reason of its height, siting, massing and design introduce a prominent and incongruous feature into the landscape, which would cause demonstrable harm to the openness and character of the countryside and would be detrimental to the visual amenities of the locality. Furthermore, the applicant has not demonstrated that there is sufficient need to justify an excessively large building within the countryside to the detriment of the visual amenities of the locality.
• ✗The applicant has not provided any evidence to demonstrate why other outbuildings within Farrants Fort are unsuitable for the proposed uses and therefore it would be inappropriate to allow a new building without first considering this information.
