Key legal question
Whether the planned forage hall was shown to be necessary for the farm operation under Art. 16a RPG and Art. 34 RPV
Extracted holding
The need for the forage hall was not sufficiently established because the existing buildings north of the road were still available and their continued use for feed storage had not been properly examined.
Extracted reasoning
A new agricultural building must meet objective operational needs. The authorities failed to explain why existing buildings, including the freed-up tie-stall, could not continue to serve feed storage, and a mere wish to concentrate the farm south of the road was insufficient.
