Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the site was part of an established agricultural unit on 24th July 2023 or, where the site became part of the established agricultural unit after that date, for a period of at least 10 years before the date development under Class Q begins
- whether the location and siting of the building makes it impractical or undesirable for the building to change to a dwellinghouse, in regard to odour, noise and disturbance
- whether the development would consist of building operations reasonably necessary to convert the building
What decided it
The appellant failed to demonstrate that the building was part of an established agricultural unit on the relevant date, and the location between the A66 and an intensive poultry farm makes it impractical and undesirable for residential use.
