Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposed development would be granted planning permission by Article 3, Schedule 2, Part 6, Class A of the GPDO with regard to whether it would involve the provision of a building, structure or works designed for agricultural purposes and whether it comprises a building exceeding 1000 square metres

What decided it

The proposal comprises an industrial process of converting crops into a finished fertiliser product for sale, which is not reasonably necessary for the purposes of agriculture and therefore does not fall within the permitted development rights granted by Schedule 2, Part 6, Class A of the GPDO.

Read the decision letter on the Inspectorate’s site

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.

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.
