Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015, having particular regard to whether the site was used solely for agricultural use as part of an established agricultural unit, and whether the building operations would be reasonably necessary to convert the building to a dwelling
What decided it
The appellant failed to demonstrate that the site was used solely for agricultural use as part of an established agricultural unit on the relevant date, or for the required 10-year period, thereby failing to satisfy the mandatory conditions for permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the Order.
