Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be considered permitted development under Article 3(1) and Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO, with particular regard to whether the buildings meet the requirements of paragraph Q.1(a) and Q.1(g)
- whether or not sufficient information has been provided to adequately assess the contamination risks at the site
- whether the location or siting of the buildings make it otherwise impractical or undesirable for the buildings to change from agricultural use to a use falling within Class C3 (dwellinghouses) in terms of the effect of the proposal on biodiversity
What decided it
The appellant failed to provide sufficient evidence to establish that the site was used solely for an agricultural use as part of an established agricultural unit on 20 March 2013, as required by Class Q.1(a) of the GPDO.
