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.
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.
