Procedure: Hearing
Development: residential · Change of use
Inspector: Shields T
Postcode: SK17 0RE

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the matters alleged in the notice constitute a breach of planning control (ground (c))
Whether the development was immune from enforcement action due to the passage of time (ground (d))
Whether the requirements of the notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach or injury to amenity (ground (f))
Whether the period for compliance falls short of what should reasonably be allowed (ground (g))

What decided it

The creation of a new, larger planning unit in 2019 by adding previously agricultural land meant the residential use was not immune from enforcement and amounted to a material change of use requiring planning permission.
