Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the appeal site is agricultural land comprised in an agricultural unit
  • whether the proposal is reasonably necessary for the purposes of agriculture within the site

What decided it

The agricultural unit is not solely in agricultural use but comprises a mixed use including extensive leisure and commercial activities, therefore the proposed works would not be on agricultural land comprised in an agricultural unit as required by the GPDO.
