Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development qualifies as permitted development under Article 3(1) and Schedule 2, Part 6, Class A of the GPDO, having regard to the EIA Regulations
What decided it
The development exceeds the 1 hectare threshold for Schedule 2 EIA development (water management for agriculture) and none of the three conditions in Article 3(10) of the GPDO were satisfied to permit the development without express planning permission.
The main issues and the deciding factor are read from the published letter by Town Planner Pro; the letter itself is the record. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Research, not advice.
