Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development falls within the terms of the permitted development rights having regard to Article 3, Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q paragraph Q.1(a) of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended)
  • If so, whether the location or siting of the building would make it impractical or undesirable for the building to change to a dwellinghouse in terms of whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers with particular regard to noise, disturbance and odour

What decided it

The location of the agricultural building in close proximity to existing stable buildings and DIY livery operations would result in undesirable living conditions for future occupiers due to noise and disturbance, making conversion undesirable under Class Q.2(1)(e) of the GPDO.
