Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether as a matter of fact the land levels have been altered and a hard surface constructed involving the importation of rubble, waste, tarmac surfacing and other material
  • Whether matters alleged constitute a breach of planning control, specifically whether the development is permitted by Class A, Part 6, Schedule 2, Article 3 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015

What decided it

The land was not in use for agriculture and for the purposes of trade or business before the development was carried out, therefore the engineering operations did not qualify for permitted development rights under Class A, Part 6 of the GPDO.
