Procedure: Written Representations
Development: other · Change of use
Inspector: Rogers B

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the breach of planning control alleged in the enforcement notice has occurred
Whether planning permission should be granted for the development
Whether the enforcement notice was properly served
Whether the requirements of the notice exceed what is necessary to remedy injury to amenity
Whether the compliance period is suitable

What decided it

The timber building and storage container constitute operational development requiring planning permission, with no permitted development rights available, and the enforcement notice requirements are no more than necessary to remedy the breach.
