®Planning appeal decision
Vipers Quay, Dittisham, DARTMOUTH, TQ6 0HE
as I have described above. It is perhaps worth noting here that in the event that more extensive works than those described in the First Schedule of the LDC are (or were) carried out, the LDC would not apply: the question of whether or not such works amounted to development would need to be considered afresh. Conclusion 15. For the reasons given above I conclude, on the evidence now available, that the Council's refusal to grant a certificate of lawful use or development in respect of repairs to the jetty at Vipers Quay was not well-founded and that the appeal should succeed. I will exercise the powers transferred to me under section 195(2) of the 1990 Act as amended. Jessica Graham INSPECTOR Appeal

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed works amount to 'development' requiring an express grant of planning permission, or constitute maintenance and alteration falling within the exemption under section 55(2)(a) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990
What decided it
The proposed works would constitute repair and maintenance of the existing jetty structure using existing stone in the same position, not rebuilding, and would not materially affect the external appearance of the jetty as a whole, thus falling within the exemption from development under section 55(2)(a) of the 1990 Act.
