Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the barn benefits from permitted development rights granted by Schedule 2 of the GPDO
- If the barn benefits from permitted development rights granted by Schedule 2 of the GPDO, whether prior approval is deemed to have been granted by reason of the timing of the Council's decision
- If prior approval is not deemed to have been granted, whether the proposal would be permitted development under the provisions of Class Q of the GPDO, with regard to the site being used solely for an agricultural use as part of an established agricultural unit on 20 March 2013
What decided it
The building operations undertaken to the barn materially affected its external appearance and were unlawful, thereby precluding the barn from benefiting from permitted development rights under Article 3(5) of the GPDO.
