Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether planning permission can be granted under section 73 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 for an agricultural barn with a condition permitting non-agricultural uses, given that the description of development would remain unchanged as an agricultural barn

What decided it

A condition permitting non-agricultural uses would directly conflict with the description of development which would remain unchanged as an agricultural barn, making it impossible to grant planning permission under section 73 with the proposed condition.
