- Authority
- Welwyn Hatfield Council
- Appeal type
- minor · Planning Appeal
- Procedure

- residential · Minor Dwellings
- Inspector
- O'Doherty A
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.
The main issues and the deciding factor are read from the published letter by Town Planner Pro; the letter itself is the record. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Research, not advice.
