Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether compliance or otherwise of the proposal with the GPDO is a matter that the Inspector can consider and, if so, whether the proposal would involve the provision of a private way reasonably necessary for the purposes of agriculture within an agricultural unit, to comply with the description of permitted development at Schedule 2, Part 6, Class A of the GPDO
  • the effect of the siting of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, in particular trees, and their importance

What decided it

The absence of sufficient tree information and evidence meant the Inspector could not be satisfied that the siting of the proposal would not have a harmful effect on the character and appearance of the area, particularly regarding trees.
