Questão jurídica principal
Whether the northern part of parcel GB No. 1310 had to remain in the building zone rather than be placed in the agricultural zone.
Decisão extraída
The parcel was properly assigned to the agricultural zone because it is suitable for agricultural use and may be permanently retained as the basis of an agricultural holding under the planning horizon.
Fundamentação extraída
The court relied on the parcel’s agricultural suitability, its connection to an existing viable farm, and the restrictions imposed by the Federal Act on Rural Land Law. Private interests in creating buildable land were weak, and an expansion into the building zone would conflict with planning principles and the anti-sprawl requirement.
