Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development is permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 6, Class A of the GPDO
- if the proposal is permitted development under the provisions of the GPDO, whether prior approval should be granted, having regard to the siting, design and external appearance of the building
What decided it
The land had been used for agricultural purposes for over 12 months and formed part of an agricultural unit, making the development permitted development, and the siting, design and external appearance would not harm the character and appearance of the area.
