Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would be development permitted under Schedule 2, Part 6 Class A of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended)

What decided it

The absence of substantive evidence demonstrating active agricultural use of the holding and the lack of certainty that the building would be reasonably necessary for the purposes of agriculture on this unit meant the proposal could not satisfy the criteria for permitted development under Class A, Part 6 of the GPDO.
