Planning appeal decision

Dismissed22 February 20243315560

Land Adjacent To Hightrees, 1 Parkside, Buntingford, Hertfordshire, SG9 9RT

Planning appeal 3315560 at Land Adjacent To Hightrees, 1 Parkside, Buntingford, Hertfordshire, SG9 9RT (East Hertfordshire District Council) was dismissed on 22 February 2024 by Inspector Simpson V, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: the effect of the development on the living conditions of occupiers of adjoining dwellings, with particular regard to noise and disturbance.

I have already been granted a two year dog day-care/animal activity license by environmental health. Inspector was Neil Webb. I have since been informed by the planning department that "change of use" is required in order for the license to be granted
