Planning appeal 3286466 at The Land Situate and Known As Juleroyd House, Skipton Road, Kettlesing, Harrogate, North Yorkshire, HG3 2LT (Harrogate Borough Council *) was allowed in part (a split decision) on 1 March 2022 by Inspector Harbottle M, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: Whether the breach of planning control can be resolved by lesser steps than ceasing the storage and hire of motorhomes, having regard to highway safety concerns at the site entrance and exit to Skipton Road.

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the breach of planning control can be resolved by lesser steps than ceasing the storage and hire of motorhomes, having regard to highway safety concerns at the site entrance and exit to Skipton Road
- Whether a 2-month compliance period is reasonable, or whether 6 months should be allowed to permit construction of a new egress
What decided it
The existence of an extant planning permission for a new egress, combined with verbal agreement to construct it and a realistic contractor timeline, justified extending the compliance period from 2 to 6 months to allow the highway safety concerns to be addressed through infrastructure improvement rather than business cessation.
