Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would be permitted development under Class MA of the GDPO
  • If permitted development, the impacts of noise on intended occupiers of the development

What decided it

The building's permitted use was established as mixed-use agricultural engineering and contracting business, not a separate office use within Class E, and therefore did not satisfy the Class MA requirement that the building fell within specified use classes for a continuous two-year period.
