Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the matters alleged in the enforcement notice have occurred (ground b)
  • Whether the matters alleged constitute a breach of planning control (ground c)
  • Whether the period for compliance with the notice is reasonable (ground g)

What decided it

The use of the appeal site as a builder's storage compound was not ordinarily ancillary to the residential development given the very minor nature of the outstanding highway works, and the storage facilities did not qualify for permitted development rights.
