Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would be permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 6, Class A of the GPDO
- if so, whether the proposed development would satisfy the detailed prior approval matters including the effect of the siting, design and external appearance upon the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The evidence did not convincingly demonstrate that the land was in use for agriculture for the purposes of a trade or business as required by the GPDO, therefore the proposal did not constitute permitted development.
