Authority: Charnwood Borough Council
Appeal type: enforcement · Enforcement Notice
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: other · Householder developments
Inspector: Gray E

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the breach of planning control alleged in the enforcement notice has occurred as a matter of fact (ground b)
Whether there has been a breach of planning control, specifically whether the fence falls within permitted development rights or requires planning permission due to its location within the curtilage of a listed building (ground c)

What decided it

The fence is located within the curtilage of Quorn Hall, a grade II listed building, and therefore does not benefit from permitted development rights under the GPDO, requiring planning permission which was not obtained.

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.

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.

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.
