A Co Antrim farmer's plan to diversify his business in to a government document storage facility has been refused for fear it could "open the floodgates" to rural misuses.
Lisburn and Castlereagh City Council's (LCCC) planning committee declined the application to change the use of an agricultural out building into a remote document storage facility.
The chamber heard that potential sensitive government and commercial files could be housed in a revamped disused building to generate an extra farm income.
