Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the alleged breach of planning control, namely the mixed use to include B2 car repairs and associated hard surface parking area, has occurred as a matter of fact
- Whether the steps required by the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control
What decided it
The appellant failed to demonstrate on the balance of probabilities that the mixed use comprising B2 car repairs and associated hard surface parking area had not occurred as a matter of fact, given the evidence of company vehicles, the substantial hardstanding created, and the number of vehicles present at the site.
