Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether or not the curtilage associated with the proposed dwellings would be in accordance with the definition in paragraph X
- whether or not the proposed development meets the requirements of Class Q with regard to the buildings to be converted
- whether or not the site was used solely for an agricultural use as part of an established agricultural unit on 20 March 2013; or, in the case of a building which was in use before that date, but was not in use on that date, when it was last in use
What decided it
The proposed development does not comply with the curtilage definition in paragraph X of the GPDO, as the curtilage of Plot 1 appears to exceed the land area occupied by the agricultural building.
The main issues and the deciding factor are read from the published letter by Town Planner Pro; the letter itself is the record. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Research, not advice.
