Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed building would be reasonably necessary for agriculture, to comply with the GPDO description of permitted development

What decided it

The appellant failed to demonstrate that the proposed building would be reasonably necessary for the purposes of agriculture as required by Schedule 2, Part 6, Class A of the GPDO, due to lack of substantiation of machinery ownership and use and uncertainty about the extent and future of the agricultural enterprise.
