Authority: Buckinghamshire Council - Aylesbury Area *
Appeal type: enforcement · Enforcement Notice
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: other · Change of use
Inspector: Hanson S

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Appeal A (grounds b and c): whether a material change of use of the land to residential has occurred and whether it constitutes a breach of planning control
Appeal A (ground d): whether the development is immune from enforcement action through the passage of time
Appeal B: the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The fence represents a material change of use from amenity land to residential garden occurring in 2018, within the enforcement time limit, and causes visual harm to the character and appearance of the open plan estate contrary to development plan policy.

Plan policies cited: Policy BE2 of the Vale of Aylesbury Local Plan
