Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the matters alleged in the enforcement notice constitute a breach of planning control
  • Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice are excessive to achieve the purpose of the notice

What decided it

The tipis, stage and trailer mounted cabin remained on the land between wedding events and were not part of the normal forestry use, meaning the wedding venue use was not exceptional and temporary as required by the GPDO, but constituted a material change of use to a mixed use requiring planning permission.
