Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the matters stated in the notice as constituting the breach of planning control have occurred as a matter of fact
  • Whether those matters constitute a breach of planning control
  • Whether at the date the notice was issued, enforcement action could be taken in respect of the breach

What decided it

The physical evidence from photographs and site inspection demonstrated that extensive engineering works created a new vehicular access to a classified road in summer 2021, well within the enforcement period, and no planning permission existed for such development.

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.
