As we stated in our letter of representation to the case officer, we continued to be concerned to see the increasing numbers of large agricultural buildings being constructed under the umbrella of permitted development legislation in sensitive landscapes. To date this year, we noted, no fewer than 20 such applications have been submitted in the South Hams.
We were of the opinion that the proposal being presented would not comply with the description of permitted development as set out by Schedule 2, Part 6, Class A of the GPDO, and that therefore this application should not be permitted development.
In her report the case officer both commented upon and agreed with the Society's conclusions. The application was refused.
