Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The main issue in this case is whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a LDC is well founded
  • the main consideration in this case is whether or not the activities taking place on the appeal site have resulted in a material change of use of the land for which planning permission is required

What decided it

On the balance of probability, the Inspector found the activities on site were primarily for the purpose of growing crops for sale, which fell within the statutory definition of agriculture, with all other activities incidental to that use.
