Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would constitute permitted development as defined under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO
  • if the proposal is found to constitute permitted development, whether it would accord with the conditions of Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO with respect to the transport and highways impacts of the development

What decided it

The building and land within its curtilage was not used solely for agricultural use as part of an established agricultural unit, failing the fundamental requirement for Class Q permitted development.
