Condition Details / Information Notes
In order to constitute permitted development, the building must have been in agricultural use as part of an agricultural unit either; on 20th March 2013, in the case of a building which was in use before that date but was not in use on that date, when it was last in use, or in the case of a site which was brought into use after 20th March 2013, for a period of at least 10 years before the date development under Class Q begins.
Based on the evidence provided, the Council consider that the building has not been in agricultural use either either on 20th March 2013, in the case of a building which was in use before that date but was not in use on that date, when it was last in use, or in the case of a site which was brought into use after 20th March 2013, for a period of at least 10 years before the date development under Class Q begins.
Additionally, should the applicant have been operating an agricultural business / unit from the application site, the use would have been unlawful by virtue of being in breach of condition 3 placed upon application W/09/02584/PN under which the building originally benefitted from permission.
The proposals therefore do not constitute permitted development as a result of failing to accord with the provisions of The Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 (as amended) Part 3, Class Q, Part Q .1(a).
