Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the building is in use as an agricultural building and whether the appeal site was used solely for an agricultural use as part of an established agricultural unit on 20 March 2013, or if the appeal building was not in use on that date, when it was last in use
- whether or not the development would comprise building operations reasonably necessary to convert it to a use falling within Class C3 (dwellinghouses)
- the effect of the proposed development on protected species
What decided it
The site was not used solely for an agricultural use as part of an established agricultural unit, as it had been used for manufacturing cement ornaments and storage purposes for several years after agricultural use ceased.
