Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether a breach of planning control has occurred
  • Whether planning permission should be granted for the residential building
  • Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice are excessive
  • Whether the compliance period of 6 months is reasonable

What decided it

The building was demonstrably used as a residential dwelling rather than the permitted stable, and the proposal would create a new dwelling in open countryside contrary to the development plan settlement hierarchy and character policies, with no new material considerations to distinguish it from the previously dismissed appeal.
