In pursuance of powers granted under the above Act and Order the PLANNING COMMITTEE of the Department of Local Government and the Environment does hereby REFUSE the following application made on behalf of:
Name: Mr G A & Mrs E Moore
Proposal: Removal of agricultural workers condition on dwelling at:
- Tramman

Deputy Secretary Planning Committee
Reasons For Refusal:
- There is in the submitted application insufficient evidence to demonstrate that there is no further need for agricultural workers' accommodation in this locality.
NOTE 1. Evidence of the marketing of the dwelling indicates that it has not been valued having regard to this constraint on its use; the Department's usual practice in these matters is to require that the dwelling in question is offered for sale as a farmworker's dwelling, at a discounted valuation (usually approximately 25 - 30 % of the free market valuation), and for a period of at least six months.
This decision was made by the Planning Committee constituted in accordance with Article 3(1) of the Town and Country Planning (Development Procedure) Order 2005.
