Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 6, Class A of the GPDO
- if so, whether the proposed development would satisfy the detailed prior approval matters including the effect of the siting, design and external appearance upon the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The land use was primarily equine rather than agricultural, and there was insufficient evidence to demonstrate the holding was operated as an agricultural trade or business, therefore the development did not fall within the scope of permitted development under Class A of Part 6 of the GPDO.
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.
