Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the steps required by the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control

What decided it

The requirements of the enforcement notice are not excessive as they seek only to remedy the identified breaches by reducing boundary elements to heights permitted under permitted development rights and removing inadequately drained hardstanding that does not qualify as permitted development.

Read the decision letter on the Inspectorate’s site

The main issues and the deciding factor are read from the published letter by Town Planner Pro; the letter itself is the record. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Research, not advice.

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.
