Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be granted planning permission by Article 3, Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended)
What decided it
The burden of proof rested with the appellant to demonstrate the building's last use was solely agricultural, and the credible evidence of intervening non-agricultural uses (joinery workshop and vehicle repair) from 1987-2002 meant this requirement could not be satisfied.
