Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the location or siting of the building would make it impractical or undesirable for it to change from agricultural use to a use falling within Class C3, having regard to the living conditions of future occupiers with particular regard for the amount of private garden space proposed
- whether the level of vehicle parking proposed would be acceptable
What decided it
The proposed gardens would provide adequate private outdoor space and living conditions for future occupiers, and parking provision would be acceptable within the terms of the GPDO, such that the location and siting would not make the change of use impractical or undesirable.
