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.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: 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)
