Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the alleged breach of planning control had occurred
- Whether the matter alleged constitutes a breach of planning control
- Whether planning permission should be granted for the unauthorised mixed use
- Whether the steps required by the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach or injury to amenity
- Whether the time given to comply with the requirements is too short
What decided it
The agreement between the main parties that the mixed use for storage and distribution, vehicle maintenance, adaptation and repair and retail (excluding residential use) was acceptable subject to conditions, combined with the cessation of the unauthorised residential use, allowed the Inspector to grant conditional planning permission for the non-residential elements while upholding the enforcement notice for the residential component.
