Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- 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 (paragraph Q.1.(a))
- whether development under Class A (a) or Class B (a) of Part 6 of the GPDO has been carried out on the established agricultural unit (paragraph Q.1.(g))
- whether the development would result in the external dimensions of the building extending beyond the external dimensions of the existing building at any given point (Q.1.(h))
- whether sufficient information has been provided to demonstrate the structural stability of the building or the amount of work required to convert the building to a dwelling (paragraph W(3)(b))
What decided it
The appellant failed to provide sufficient evidence to demonstrate that the appeal site was used solely for an agricultural use as part of an established agricultural unit on 20 March 2013 or when it was last in use, which is a mandatory requirement under paragraph Q.1.(a) of the GPDO.
