Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Appeal A ground (b): whether the alleged use for recycling of construction and demolition waste took place as a matter of fact
- Appeal A ground (c): whether the use constitutes a breach of planning control having regard to permitted development rights for temporary uses and whether a material change of use occurred
- Appeal A ground (f): whether the requirements are excessive to achieve the purpose of the notice
- Appeal A ground (g): whether the compliance periods are reasonable
- Appeal B: the effects of the development on the character and appearance of the surrounding area and on the amenity and living conditions of occupiers of nearby properties
What decided it
The development would result in unacceptable impacts on landscape character and amenity through noise, with inadequate mitigation secured through planning conditions, failing to comply with development plan policies MW1 and WP16.
