Planning appeal decision
Wyre Mill Cottage, Mill Lane, Wolverley, DY11 5TR
Planning appeal 3283420 at Wyre Mill Cottage, Mill Lane, Wolverley, DY11 5TR (Wyre Forest District Council) was allowed on 21 February 2022 by Inspector Hanson S, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: Whether the proposed development would result in a material change of use of the land and thus constitute development, and whether the operational development would be works not permitted under Article 3 and Schedule 2, Part 1 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 as amended.
Siting of beehives for the keeping of bees, surrounded by a new fence of less than two metres high and siting of a caravan for occasional use by family members

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would result in a material change of use of the land and thus constitute development, and whether the operational development would be works not permitted under Article 3 and Schedule 2, Part 1 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 as amended
What decided it
The entire landholding forms a single planning unit associated with residential use, and the proposed caravan and beehives would not constitute development requiring planning permission as they do not result in a material change of use.
