Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would amount to permitted development under Part 6, Class A of the GPDO
- If so, the effect of the proposal on the appearance of the surrounding area, having regard to its siting, design and external appearance
What decided it
The appellant failed to demonstrate on the balance of evidence that the proposal related to an agricultural unit of 5 hectares or more or that the land was used for the purposes of a trade or business, and therefore the proposal did not constitute permitted development under Part 6, Class A of the GPDO.
