Authority: Derbyshire Dales District Council
Appeal type: enforcement · Enforcement Notice
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: leisure-sport · Change of use
Inspector: Whalley J

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the operational development and material change of use alleged in the enforcement notice have occurred
Whether the operational development and material change of use constitute development requiring planning permission
Whether planning permission should be granted for the operational development and material change of use
Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice are too onerous

What decided it

The material change of use of the land to a camping site and the operational development caused unacceptable and considerable harm to the character and appearance of this open and prominent upland countryside location, contrary to development plan policies and national guidance on protecting the countryside.

Framework references: 174

Plan policies cited: Policy S4, Policy S1, Policy PD1, Policy PD5, Policy EC9

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.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.

Every English appeal since 2016, with the letter behind it wherever the Inspectorate published one. Searched by meaning as well as by words, with the key case law counted live across the letters.

Casework that chases the deadlines. Applications, appeals and conditions with their statutory dates.

The judgement stays yours. The tool gathers the material and dates it.
