Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be granted planning permission by Class A, Part 6, Schedule 2 of the GPDO with particular regard to whether the proposed development is reasonably necessary for the purposes of agriculture within that unit
- If so, whether the proposed development complies with all of the relevant criteria within Class A, Part 6, Schedule 2 of the GPDO and whether prior approval can be given as to the siting, design and external appearance of the building
What decided it
The appellant failed to provide robust evidence demonstrating that the proposed development is reasonably necessary for the purposes of agriculture within the unit, which is the relevant test under the GPDO.
