Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the breach of planning control alleged in the enforcement notice had occurred
- Whether the matters alleged constitute a breach of planning control
- Whether the steps required by the notice exceed what is necessary to achieve the purpose
- Whether the time given to comply with the requirements is too short
What decided it
The appellant failed to provide sufficient evidence to demonstrate on the balance of probabilities that the car park use remained within the 28-day permitted development threshold, and the operational development (tracks, hardstanding, machines, signage and posts) had no permitted development rights.
