Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development falls within the scope of permitted development under Article 3(1) and Schedule 2, Part 6, Class A of the GPDO, with particular regard to (a) whether the proposed development would be on agricultural land and (b) if the development would be on agricultural land, whether the proposal would be reasonably necessary for purposes of agriculture within that unit
  • The suitability of the siting of the proposed agricultural building

What decided it

Insufficient evidence was provided to demonstrate that the land was in use for agriculture for the purposes of a trade or business, and the building was designed in part to store vintage tractors which was not reasonably necessary for agricultural purposes.

The main issues and the deciding factor are read from the published letter by Town Planner Pro; the letter itself is the record. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Research, not advice.
