Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal is permitted under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q, paragraph Q.1 (e) and (i) of the GPDO
What decided it
The absence of express consent from the agricultural tenant, who objected to the proposal, meant the development could not satisfy the requirement of paragraph Q.1(e) of the GPDO and therefore could not be permitted development.
