Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether there has been a material change of use from agricultural land to a mixed use comprising agricultural and recreational activities
  • Whether the buildings and structures erected on the land constitute development requiring planning permission
  • Whether planning permission should be granted for the open storage building, hardstanding and culverted ditch

What decided it

The stable and shipping container failed to preserve the openness of the green belt and were not appropriate facilities for outdoor recreation, whereas the open-fronted store had a genuine agricultural use and the hardstanding and culvert were engineering operations that preserved openness.

The agricultural use of the open-fronted store and the engineering operations (hardstanding and culvert) that preserve green belt openness were permitted, but the stable and shipping container as inappropriate development harming green belt openness were refused.
