Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be permitted development, with particular regard to the requirements of Section Q.1(g) of Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the Order
What decided it
The barn constructed on the holding differed materially from the approved prior notification plans and was used for livestock housing contrary to Part 6 Class A restrictions, therefore the prior permitted development was not 'carried out' and the Class Q restriction did not apply.
