Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal complies with the description of permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 6, Class A of the GPDO, with regard to its proximity to an aerodrome

What decided it

The airstrip does not constitute an aerodrome as defined by the GPDO because it is not used for public transport flights with valuable consideration or for aerial work, and therefore the height restriction in paragraph A1(f) of Part 6 of the GPDO does not apply.
