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 (dwellinghouses), having regard to the living conditions of future occupiers in respect of safety, noise, and odours

What decided it

The proximity of the appeal building to adjacent agricultural buildings with extant agricultural use would create unacceptable living conditions for future residents through noise, odours, and safety risks, making the conversion undesirable under Class Q.2(1)(e) of the GPDO.
