A Christmas Poem: A New Shepherd’s Hut Approved Unto Us

This poem has been created by AI to showcase Appeal Finder’s upcoming AI summaries feature being introduced in 2026!

'Twas the season for planning appeals so fine, in Cheshire East, a decision did shine.
M Cryan, the Inspector, did make her way, to Ivy Cottage Tree Farm, on a winter's day.

She saw the shepherd's hut, with its wheels so bright, And the hot tub, a feature, a pure delight.
The development, small in scale, did not offend the Green Belt's openness it did intend.

The Framework, paragraph 154, did guide her view, That outdoor recreation, was a purpose anew.
The hut, a facility for visitors to stay, did support the tree farm in a rural way.

The character and appearance, of the area so fair, would not harm by the development, without a care.
The countryside location, did suit the hut so well, A type of accommodation that's rural and does swell.

The tree farm's business, did benefit from the guests, two jobs, now year-round, a positive quest.
The development did use the existing access so fine, and the parking, a feature, that did align.

The conditions imposed did ensure the development's might, would not harm the neighbours, or the area's delight.
The register of guests, a provision so grand, would ensure the enforcement of the holiday plan.

The Inspector's decision, did conclude so bright, the appeal allowed, with planning permission in sight.
No harm, no foul, the development did stand of a small, rural retreat, in the Green Belt's land.

AI Hallucinations

With a wry smile, which I hope does not dissipate the festive cheer, I must point out this A.I.-produced appeal summary does contain more than a few inaccuracies. Notably:

  • The site visit was carried out in May, not on a winter's day.
  • The appeal doesn't specify if M Cryan is male or female.
  • No doubt there are other inaccuracies hallucinated which aren't obvious, which goes to show you must always check an A.I.'s work!
