Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the barn was last used for agriculture as part of an agricultural unit
  • Whether the scope of the works is within that covered by the GPDO
  • Whether prior approval is needed as to the design or external appearance of the building

What decided it

The barn did not meet the requirement under Paragraph Q.1(a) of the GPDO that it was last used for an agricultural use as part of an agricultural unit, as the evidence did not establish that no intervening non-agricultural use had occurred since 2012.
