Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO having regard to transport and highways impacts (Paragraph Q.2(1)(a))
- Whether the proposal would be permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO having regard to contamination risks (Paragraph Q.2(1)(c))
- Whether the location or siting of the buildings make it otherwise impractical or undesirable for the buildings to change from agricultural use to Class C3 (Paragraph Q.2(1)(e))
What decided it
The proposed development would have an unacceptable transport and highways impact due to restricted visibility at the existing access, and would pose an unacceptable contamination risk due to the absence of any site investigation or assessment, failing to comply with paragraphs Q.2(1)(a) and Q.2(1)(c) of Class Q of the GPDO.
