Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether or not the proposed development would constitute permitted development under the terms of Class A of Part 6 of the Order
  • whether the siting, design and appearance of the building are appropriate in their contexts

What decided it

The proposed development would not constitute permitted development under the GPDO because it would require significant engineering operations (land re-grading and material removal) which are explicitly excluded from the definition of a building under Part 6, and the agricultural use had not been demonstrated to be a commercial trade or business.
