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.

Plan policies cited: Policy 1, Policy 2, Policy 3, Policy 7, Policy 12, Policy 23, saved policy CC-5, Policy C1
