Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether copies of the Enforcement Notice were properly served on all persons with an interest in the land
  • Whether planning permission should be granted for the retention of the hardstanding parking area
  • Whether the steps required by the Notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control

What decided it

The retention of hardstanding parking covering the entirety of the rear garden conflicts with the historic character and use of back gardens in the Penzance Conservation Area and local plan policies protecting the conservation area, with no public benefits to offset the harm.
