Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the matter alleged in the enforcement notice has occurred (ground b)
  • Whether the matters alleged in the enforcement notice constitute a breach of planning controls (ground c)

What decided it

The continued presence of vehicles associated with concrete business operations on the site at the time of notice service, combined with the caravan's earlier siting during unauthorised concrete business use, meant the alleged breaches had occurred and did not benefit from permitted development exemptions.
