Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would be permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO, having regard to: (a) whether the cumulative floor space would exceed 465 square metres; and (b) the extent of building operations proposed and whether they are reasonably necessary for the building to function as dwellinghouses
- if so, whether or not prior approval should be granted in respect of whether the location or siting of the building makes it otherwise impractical or undesirable for the building to change from agricultural use to a use falling within Class C3 (dwellinghouses)
What decided it
The location and siting of the building immediately adjacent to active agricultural buildings and operations would result in impractical and undesirable living conditions for future occupiers due to persistent noise, vibration, and odour impacts, thereby failing to comply with paragraph Q.2(1)(e) of the GPDO.
