Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed change of use would be permitted development under Class Q of the GPDO, in particular with respect to the requirements of Paragraphs Q.1(a) and Q.1(i) and Paragraph X
- If permitted development, whether prior approval should be granted, in particular with respect to whether the location of the building makes it otherwise impractical or undesirable for the building to change from agricultural use to a use as a dwellinghouse
What decided it
The appellant failed to provide sufficient evidence that the building was used solely for agricultural purposes as part of an established agricultural unit on or before 20 March 2013, as required by Paragraph Q.1(a) of Class Q of the GPDO.
