Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development would be carried out on agricultural land in an agricultural unit and is reasonably necessary for agricultural purposes such that it benefits from permitted development rights set out in the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (as amended) Article 3, Schedule 2, Part 6, Class A
What decided it
The appellant failed to demonstrate that the land was in agricultural use as defined by the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, as rewilding is not an agricultural activity and timber growing was not shown to be ancillary to other farming operations on the holding.
