Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would be permitted development by virtue of Schedule 2, Part 3, Class Q of the GPDO, having regard to whether since ceasing to be part of an established agricultural unit, the site has been used for a non-agricultural purpose

What decided it

The site has been used for the non-agricultural purpose of parking domestic vehicles and a horsebox since 2014, which breaches the Class Q.1(b)(iii) requirement and therefore the proposal does not constitute permitted development.
