Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the change of use would represent permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (as amended) (GPDO)
  • if the proposal is permitted development whether the location or siting of the building makes it otherwise impractical or undesirable for the building to change from an agricultural use to a use falling within Class C3 (dwellinghouses), in terms of the living conditions of future occupiers with particular regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The appellant failed to provide sufficient evidence to establish that the building was used solely for agricultural purposes for at least 10 years as required by Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q paragraph Q.1(a) of the GPDO, due to the documented non-agricultural hobbyist use from June 2020 onwards.
