Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether copies of the enforcement notice were properly served on the owner, occupier and other persons with an interest in the land
  • Whether the matters alleged in the notice constitute a breach of planning control
  • Whether the time allowed for complying with the notice requirements is reasonable

What decided it

The scale and magnitude of the scrap metal dealing, storing and processing activity, evidenced by substantial quantities of metal items stacked to 1.8 metres height occupying extensive parts of the grounds, constituted a material change of use to a primary mixed use rather than activity incidental to residential enjoyment, and no planning permission for this development was granted.
