Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the change of use of the land and/or erection of the timber cabin dwelling had occurred long enough ago to prevent successful enforcement action (ground d)
- Whether the cabin dwelling would meet the criteria to be an acceptable replacement dwelling under Policy H13, and whether the removal of the twin-unit caravan could be secured by enforceable planning condition (ground a)
- Whether the notice stipulates a reasonable period of time to comply with its requirements (ground g)
What decided it
The cabin dwelling met Policy H13 replacement dwelling criteria and could be secured by an enforceable condition requiring its demolition if the existing caravan site residential use continued or resumed, thereby achieving the policy's objective of limiting residential development in open countryside.
