®Planning appeal decision
Claydons Farm, Back Lane , East Hanningfield, Chelmsford, CM3 8AJ
Planning appeal 3265766 at Claydons Farm, Back Lane , East Hanningfield, Chelmsford, CM3 8AJ (Chelmsford Borough Council) was dismissed on 8 June 2021 by Inspector Thompson P, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: whether the development would be permitted development under Class Q of the GPDO 2015, in particular whether the appeal buildings would be within the curtilage of a listed building and thereby excluded by Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q.1(m).
Determination as to whether the prior approval of the local planning authority is required for the proposed change of use from an agricultural Building to 5No. dwellings (use class C3)

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the development would be permitted development under Class Q of the GPDO 2015, in particular whether the appeal buildings would be within the curtilage of a listed building and thereby excluded by Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q.1(m)
- if the appeal buildings are not listed, whether the proposed development would consist of building operations other than those listed in Schedule 2, Part 3, Paragraph Q.1(i) of the GPDO
What decided it
Buildings 4 and 6 fall within the curtilage of the listed building Claydons Manor as they had a clear functional and spatial relationship as a steading at the time of listing, and the subsequent post-listing separation does not alter their listed status, thereby excluding the development from Class Q permitted development rights.
