Planning Circular 3/88 - New Agricultural Dwellings
Paragraph 1 requires evidence of real agricultural need sufficient to offset general planning objections; otherwise normal considerations prevail. DAFF confirmed essential for animal welfare/security with 2.13 labour units, stronger than recent appeal precedent, but Committee ruled siting failed landscape tests.
