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.
