Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed buildings would comply with the conditions and limitations of Class A of Part 6 to Schedule 2 of the GPDO, with particular regard to whether they would be carried out on agricultural land within an agricultural unit and are reasonably necessary for the purposes of agriculture within the unit
- If so, whether prior approval can be given having regard to the siting, design and external appearance of the buildings
What decided it
The siting of the proposed building in Appeal A in close proximity to protected trees and their root protection areas created unacceptable risk of harm to trees and the rural character, whereas the siting in Appeal B avoided such trees and was therefore acceptable.
