Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Appeal A: Whether the enforcement notice specifies with sufficient clarity the alleged breach of planning control and the steps required for compliance
  • Appeal B: Whether the proposal is acceptable in principle having regard to relevant policies in the development plan, and the effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of neighbouring residential properties, specifically in relation to noise and disturbance

What decided it

Appeal A: The fundamental uncertainty regarding the alleged breach of planning control at paragraph 3(II) of the enforcement notice regarding the planning unit and the inability to correct this without causing injustice. Appeal B: The inability to impose enforceable conditions to control the proposed use to prevent harm to neighbouring living conditions.

Plan policies cited: Policy DM15, Policy DM18, Policy DM1
