Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's refusal to grant a certificate of lawful use or development in respect of an allotment in agricultural use was well-founded
What decided it
The proposed allotment use, comprising fruit growing, horticulture and meadow land, falls within the statutory definition of agriculture in Section 336 of the 1990 Act and therefore does not constitute development requiring planning permission.
