Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO having particular regard to whether the last use of the building was solely as an agricultural use as part of an established agricultural unit (criteria (ii) of paragraph Q.1 (a)) and whether any works have been carried out on the agricultural unit under Class A (a) or Class B (a) of Part 6 of the GPDO as required by paragraph Q.1 (g)
What decided it
The appellant failed to provide sufficient evidence to demonstrate that the last use of the building was solely as an agricultural use as part of an established agricultural unit, which is a mandatory criterion for permitted development under Class Q of the GPDO.
