Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the building would satisfy the requirements of Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development)(England) Order 2015 (as amended)
  • The effect on the Arun Valley SPA, SAC and RAMSAR with particular regards to water neutrality

What decided it

The building was not used solely for an agricultural use as part of an established agricultural unit on 20 March 2013, as it was used as an agricultural contractor's yard and subsequently as part of a tree surgery business, which do not constitute permitted agricultural uses under Class Q of the GPDO.
