Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be granted planning permission by Article 3(1) and Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO, with particular regard to whether the buildings meet the requirements of paragraph Q.1(a)
- whether the location or siting of the buildings make it otherwise impractical or undesirable for the buildings to change from agricultural use to a use falling within Class C3 (dwellinghouses) of the Schedule to the Use Classes Order in terms of whether or not the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers with particular regard to noise and disturbance and health and safety
What decided it
The buildings met the Class Q requirements as they were last lawfully used for agriculture and the location would not be impractical or undesirable for residential conversion given the small-scale holding, alternative farm access, and absence of intensive agricultural operations.
