In relation to paragraph 6.14 I would make the following comment. I do not think it is appropriate to say that new dwellings have to be on the site of the old piggery. A lot of households still use their piggery building for its intended purpose ie housing animals such as horse, geese, chickens and sheep or in other cases use as a garage, tool store, fertilizer/chemical store. Also some properties have built further outbuildings adjacent to, or connected to their piggery building which would mean the whole site would have to be demolished / redeveloped.

I would suggest that an alternative could be that each site / application is looked at individually to determine the suitability of the piggery site for the new dwelling.

I fully support the proposal for a new additional dwelling to be allowed on each site, I think it is important as it will enable younger family members to stay on the holding they have grown up on and bring up their own families.
