Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would be permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 6, Class A of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended)
  • if so, whether the proposal would satisfy the detailed prior approval matters including the effect of the siting and means of construction of the private way upon the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The tracks are reasonably necessary for agricultural purposes on the established farm unit and would not be visually intrusive in the rural setting due to natural screening and topography, satisfying both the permitted development test and prior approval requirements.
