Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would be permitted development for the purposes of the GPDO having regard to whether the building has suitable existing access to a public highway
  • if found to be permitted development, whether or not the noise impacts would be acceptable so as to comply with Paragraph Q.2.(1)(b) of the GPDO
  • whether the location or siting of the building makes it otherwise impractical or undesirable to change from agricultural use to a use falling within Class C3 (dwellinghouses)

What decided it

The building does not have suitable existing access to a public highway as required by Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q.1(p) of the GPDO, due to the narrowness, length, lack of passing bays, absence of lighting and dedicated footway of the access track.
