Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the use and shed on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The hardstanding was substantially completed more than four years before the enforcement notice was issued and therefore immune from enforcement under ground (d), but the shed was substantially completed after the material date and the storage use and shed cause significant harm to character and appearance contrary to the development plan.
