Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would require works beyond the prior approval application to make the development acceptable
- 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
What decided it
The proposed access and driveway works can be secured by planning conditions within the prior approval process, and the location and siting of the building, whilst presenting some inconvenience regarding bin collection, does not make the conversion impractical or undesirable.
