Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether as a matter of fact there has been a material change of use of the agricultural barn to a music events and performance venue
  • If there has been such a change, whether that constitutes a breach of planning control

The material change of use from agricultural storage to a mixed use including regular music events and performance venue use, evidenced by the significantly different character of activity when events take place, constitutes development requiring planning permission.
