Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would be permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO, having particular regard to whether the appeal building benefits from a lawful use within the terms of the GPDO
  • whether the location or siting of the building makes it otherwise impractical or undesirable for the building to change use, with particular reference to whether the proposal would provide adequate living conditions for the future occupiers of the scheme, in relation to odours, disturbance, and privacy

What decided it

The appeal building was not demonstrated to have been used solely for an agricultural use as part of an established agricultural unit, failing to meet the requirements of paragraph Q.1 of Class Q of the GPDO.
