Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the proposal would constitute permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class R of the GPDO, with regard to whether the proposal subjects are buildings, and if so, whether they have been used solely for an agricultural use as part of an established agricultural unit

What decided it

The appellant failed to demonstrate that the six buildings were used solely for agricultural purposes as part of an established agricultural unit on 3 July 2012, which is a mandatory requirement for permitted development under Class R.
