Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the development would benefit from the planning permission granted by Class R of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 if instituted or begun at the time the LDC application was made
  • Whether the building was used solely for an agricultural use as part of an established agricultural unit at the relevant dates specified in Class R.1.(a)

What decided it

The appellant failed to demonstrate on the balance of probability that the building was used solely for an agricultural use as part of an established agricultural unit at the relevant dates specified in Class R.1.(a) of the General Permitted Development Order 2015, as evidence showed the building had been used for vehicle parking and storage since at least 2001.
