Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development meets the requirements of Class A, Part 6 of Schedule 2 of the GPDO such that it would constitute permitted development
What decided it
The planning unit is in mixed use (agricultural and industrial) rather than solely agricultural use, and therefore does not qualify as agricultural land for the purposes of permitted development rights under Class A, Part 6 of the GPDO.
