Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the siting of the mobile home constitutes a material change of use from agricultural to leisure/recreational use, or whether it is ancillary/incidental to the agricultural use of the land

What decided it

The appellant demonstrated that the mobile home was used for shelter and storage of agricultural equipment and medicines directly and ordinarily functionally related to the intensive husbandry requirements of llama breeding, making it ancillary to the agricultural use rather than leisure/recreational use.
