Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the matters alleged in the Enforcement Notice constitute a breach of planning control
- The effect of the hardsurfacing and containers on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the steps required by the Notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control
- Whether the compliance period specified by the Notice falls short of what should reasonably be allowed
What decided it
The hardsurfacing and metal shipping containers constitute an intrusive and discordant introduction into a previously undeveloped green space that makes a positive contribution to the street scene, conflicting with policies requiring development to sustain local character.
Plan policies cited: Policy 2 of the Cornwall Local Plan (November 2016), Policy 12 of the Cornwall Local Plan (November 2016), Policy 23 of the Cornwall Local Plan (November 2016), Policy E6 of the Truro and Kenwyn Neighbourhood Plan (November 2016)
