A Ward Member spoke in support of the application and expressed the view  that the proposed building would be in keeping with other buildings within the site.  Members considered the proposed use would be ancillary to the Farm shop and the scale of the development in terms of the building extension and the ancillary use would not be inappropriate in the Green Belt.  A condition was required that the bricks and materials are re-used in carrying out this development.
