Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether or not as a matter of fact the Land was agricultural land and works of art were displayed there (ground (b))
- Whether as a matter of fact and degree the displaying of art works became a primary use resulting in a change to a mixed use of the Land and, if so, whether there was a change in the definable character of the use such that development in the form of a material change of use occurred (ground (c))
What decided it
Although a mixed use had arisen, the Inspector found no material change in the definable character of the use of the land, so no development had occurred and there was no breach of planning control.
