Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the matters alleged in the enforcement notice have occurred
- Whether the matters alleged constitute a breach of planning control
- Whether the breach has become immune from enforcement action through the passage of time
- Whether planning permission ought to be granted for the breach
- Whether the requirements of the notice exceed what is necessary
- Whether the period for compliance is reasonable
What decided it
The breach of planning control was not immune from enforcement action and unacceptably harmed the character and appearance of the surrounding rural area and the living conditions of neighbouring residents, contrary to the development plan with no material considerations of sufficient weight to justify permission.
