Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposals would be permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 6, Class A of the GPDO
- If so, the effect on the character and appearance of the area, including the setting of the Blackdown Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB)
What decided it
The appellant failed to provide sufficiently precise and unambiguous evidence that the parcel of land exceeds 1 hectare in area and that the proposed building is reasonably necessary for the purposes of agriculture as a trade or business, therefore the proposals do not constitute permitted development under the GPDO.
