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.

Read the decision letter on the Inspectorate’s site

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.

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
