Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a Certificate of lawfulness of existing use or development was well founded
What decided it
The storage use did not involve a building and therefore did not satisfy the requirement in Class R of the GPDO that development consist of a change of use of a building; furthermore, the land was not within the curtilage of the agricultural building as defined.
