Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would constitute permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO, with specific regard to whether the site was used solely for an agricultural use as part of an established agricultural unit on 20th March 2013, or if in use before but not on that date, when it was last in use
What decided it
The ambiguity about when cricketing and associated social activity ceased at the appeal site, combined with the building's fixtures and fittings pointing to non-agricultural use, meant the evidence did not unambiguously demonstrate that the site was used solely for agricultural purposes as part of an established agricultural unit on the relevant date, failing to satisfy Paragraph Q.1(a) of the GPDO.
