Planning appeal 3299179 at Land at the Junction of Station Road and Quainton Road, Quainton, Buckinghamshire, HP22 4DB (Buckinghamshire Council - Aylesbury Area *) was allowed on 14 December 2023 by Inspector Jones R, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: Whether the Council's decision to refuse to issue a Lawful Development Certificate was well-founded, turning on whether the proposed temporary works would have been lawful on the date of application as permitted development under Class A of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015.

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse to issue a Lawful Development Certificate was well-founded, turning on whether the proposed temporary works would have been lawful on the date of application as permitted development under Class A of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015
What decided it
The laying of hardstanding to create car parking constitutes 'works' for Class A purposes and, given the scale of HS2 operations and the compound's location on or adjacent to HS2-consented land, the proposed temporary development was reasonably required in connection with those operations and therefore fell within permitted development rights.
