Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether or not the proposal would comply with the conditions, limitations and restrictions of Schedule 2, Part 6, Class A of the GPDO, with particular regard to whether or not they are reasonably necessary for the purposes of agriculture within the unit
- if so, whether or not prior approval should be given in respect of the siting and the means of construction of the private way
What decided it
The appellant failed to demonstrate that the full extent of the tracks, particularly at the proposed width of 8 metres, is reasonably necessary for the purposes of agriculture, as required by Schedule 2, Part 6, Class A of the GPDO.
