Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal falls within the scope of the permitted development rights under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class R of the GPDO
  • if it does, whether prior approval should be granted, having regard to (i) the transport and highways impacts and (ii) the noise impacts of the development

What decided it

The proposal fails to fall within the scope of permitted development rights under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class R of the GPDO because five buildings do not exist on the appeal site and the remaining buildings are not solely in agricultural use as required.
