without planning permission, waste material, including (but not limited to) soils and construction and demolition waste has been imported and deposited on the Land in the approximate location indicated in yellow on Plan 1 dated August 2021

Authority: Staffordshire County Council
Appeal type: enforcement · Enforcement Notice
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: minerals-waste · Other minor developments
Inspector: Savage M

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the importation and deposition of waste material constitutes a breach of planning control and whether it is permitted by the General Permitted Development Order
Whether the breach had become immune from enforcement action by the date the notice was issued
Whether the requirements of the notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach
Whether the compliance period specified in the notice is reasonable

What decided it

The appellant failed to demonstrate that the importation of waste material was either permitted by the General Permitted Development Order or immune from enforcement action, as the material was deposited within the ten-year enforcement period and did not comply with the conditions for permitted development.

Framework references: 59

Plan policies cited: Staffordshire Moorlands Local Plan (Adopted September 2020)

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
