Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the matters stated in the enforcement notice constitute a breach of planning control (hidden ground c)
  • Whether the steps required by the notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control (ground f)
  • Whether the period for compliance is reasonable (ground g)

What decided it

The Inspector determined that material changes of use had occurred in both areas that constituted breaches of planning control, and that while the compliance period for area B should be extended to 9 months due to seasonal conditions, the enforcement notice should otherwise be upheld with corrections for clarity.

The main issues and the deciding factor are read from the published letter by Town Planner Pro; the letter itself is the record. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Research, not advice.
