Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the enforcement notice correctly describes the breach of planning control
- Whether planning permission should be granted for the use of the land for the sale of motor vehicles together with the erection of a single storey office building and garage/workshop structures
- Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice are reasonable and necessary
- Whether the period for compliance with the enforcement notice should be extended
What decided it
The inharmonious siting of a car sales use at the end of a residential cul-de-sac road would unacceptably harm the amenity of the otherwise pleasant Purdy Street residential area through increased non-residential vehicular traffic, noise and fumes, notwithstanding the appellant's particular operational method.
