- In the event that the building hereby permitted ceases to be used for the purposes of agriculture it shall be removed and, within a period of 9 months thereafter, the land shall be re-instated in accordance with a scheme to be agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority. For the purposes of this condition, and unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority, the use of the building shall be determined as having ceased if the said building is not used for the purposes of agriculture, as defined in Section 336 of the Town & Country Planning Act 1990, for a continuous period of 6 months or longer. REASON: The building hereby permitted, which is sited within an open countryside location, complies with Policy 02 of the Lake District National Park Local Plan 2020-2035 on the basis of the need for the building for agricultrual purposes. If no longer required for agricultural purposes the retention of the building, which is of modern construction and design, would result in continuing harm to landscape character with no justification.
