Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would be permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO

What decided it

The appeal building was not demonstrated to be part of an established agricultural unit on or before 20 March 2013, and the subsequent agricultural use from 2022 did not satisfy the 10-year requirement, therefore the proposal does not qualify as permitted development under Class Q.
