QBD 9 April 1992. The appellants B were refused planning permission on appeal for the continued use of a farm shop for the sale of imported produce and associated development. 25% of the annual turnover of the shop was due to imported produce. The appeal considered whether the appeal proposals conflict with the objectives of established policies concerning the control of development in the Green Belt. It was held that there were no exceptional circumstances that would justify consent. B appealed. This was upheld on the grounds that the continued use for imported goods constitued a material change of use to a general retail unit within class A.
