I am wondering if anyone can help me. Can anyone refer me to any recent case law or appeals (post NPPF) regarding whether a building is an agricultural building or not. I have an application for a new building on a small holding (2ha) for use for sanitary facilities, farm office, shelter from the weather etc. It measures 8mx5m. Our policies support small scale buildings for agriculture, but this is a facility for the person who "works" on the site and so arguably not an agricultural building. A variety of livestock is kept at the site. I am aware of lots of case law regarding caravans to provide similar facilities for farm workers. I am trying to establish whether "reasonably necessary" is the test of whether such a building can be considered to be an agricultural building and whether the specific size of the holding and the activities undertaken are a determining factor.
Any help gratefully received.
Many thanks.
