Planning appeal 3299180 at Land to the South of the Fcc Energy From Waste Plant, Edgcott, Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, HP18 0QN (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 certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded, turning on whether the proposed temporary site compound would have been lawful on the date of the application on the basis that it would have been granted planning permission by the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015, Class A.

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse to issue a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded, turning on whether the proposed temporary site compound would have been lawful on the date of the application on the basis that it would have been granted planning permission by the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015, Class A
What decided it
The laying of hardstanding to create car parking constitutes "works" for the purposes of Class A of the GPDO, and the compound's location adjoining HS2 Act land and serving operations within reasonable logistical distance is reasonably required temporarily in connection with HS2 construction operations.
