Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed change of use constitutes permitted development pursuant to Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015, having regard to whether the site was used for an agricultural use as part of an established agricultural unit
- whether the location or siting of the building makes it otherwise impractical or undesirable for the building to change from agricultural use to a use falling within Class C3 (dwellinghouses)
What decided it
The building's established agricultural use and the conclusion that the existing access, despite visibility splay deficiencies, would not make conversion impractical or undesirable given the modest residential movements anticipated from a single dwelling.
