Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the matters stated in the enforcement notice constitute a breach of planning control
  • Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice are excessive
  • Whether the compliance periods are reasonable

What decided it

The appellant failed to demonstrate that express planning permission was not required for the material change of use of the buildings to short term holiday let accommodation, and the use of Woodland View as a self-contained holiday let was materially different from the ancillary office use that was approved.
