Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would be permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 6, Class A of the GPDO, with particular regard to the height of the proposed buildings in the context of the site's proximity to the perimeter of an aerodrome

What decided it

The aircraft using the airstrip could be considered to be involved in the public transport of passengers, bringing the airstrip within the definition of an aerodrome and therefore making the 6-metre building non-compliant with the 3-metre height restriction for permitted development.
