Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Appeal A: whether the alleged breach of planning control has occurred as a matter of fact (ground b); whether the steps required exceed what is necessary (ground f); whether the time for compliance is reasonable (ground g)
  • Appeal B: whether the structures constitute development (ground c); whether enforcement action is time-barred (ground d); whether the development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt and whether very special circumstances exist (ground a); whether the steps required exceed what is necessary (ground f); whether the time for compliance is reasonable (ground g)
  • Appeal C: whether the development is inappropriate development in the Green Belt and whether very special circumstances exist (ground a); the effect on character and appearance; the effect on living conditions of neighbouring properties with regard to noise and disturbance; whether the steps required exceed what is necessary (ground f); whether the time for compliance is reasonable (ground g)

What decided it

The development constitutes inappropriate development in the Green Belt with substantial harm to openness that is not clearly outweighed by other considerations, and no very special circumstances exist to justify approval.
