Shed build material

[Kidds]

I want to build a shed out of brick with a slate roof. Ideally it would be reclaimed brick and reclaimed blue Welsh slate but in reality it would be reproduction "classic" brick and a reproduction slate roof.
Just a traditional farm building, lots of doors and windows exactly like the stable block or old fashioned cow stall buildings. All farmyards around here have them and I want my new building to look like that.
No intention of housing stock but for my use I do need multiple entry points hence the doors. Work will be taking place inside hence the windows.

Planner wants to know why brick would be easier to control interior climate with less condensation than a "substantially built metal building".
I would argue that any substantial metal building I have seen is lined with block anyway but any suggestions to further satisfy them?
I have said the steel buildings are notorious for condensation, brick absorbs the moisture and less subject to temperature fluctuations and also listed other relevant qualities.

No idea why they want to specify a tin shed other than they don't want me to build a "house". I don't want or need a house, I need and want a shed. I just want it to look nice at the same time.

ask him what his house is built with, sure a tin hut would be enough for him to live in.

heat lose would be a facture, asthicly(spelling) pleasing and tradional looking, longer lasting.

I can see why they're questioning it, because it sounds like you're arguing against building something that you want to convert into a house.

Can you not go down to timber cladding, on a timber frame then brick skin in later on.

They’ve said yes to the Dutch barn, I’m just trying to sort out my garage.

Seriously though, I have a house, I am also currently living in a tin shed while I do the house up so am well aware of how bloody cold or hot it is depending on the weather.

Take some pictures of other similar agricultural buildings locally, and say you want to build yours in keeping with the traditional local design.

Its quite simple around here if its in the greenbelt there has to be a genuine agricultural need and it has to be a modern farm building

Application has been decided, "prior notification not needed". Happy days.
They insisted on one change to the application and instead of it saying "existing track" it has to be changed to "track". The track is existing but hardly something to argue about.
