Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be permitted development, having particular regard to whether the building would be reasonably necessary for the purposes of agriculture
- The effect of the proposal on the appearance of the surrounding area, having regard to its siting, design and external appearance
What decided it
The appellant failed to provide sufficient evidence that the land is being used for agriculture as part of a trade or business, or that the proposed building is reasonably necessary for the purposes of agriculture, and therefore the proposal does not fall within permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 6, Class A of the GPDO.
