Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the buildings are in a suitable location in the countryside, having regard to the Development Plan and national policy concerning sustainable development
- Whether the time allowed for complying with the enforcement notice requirements is too short
What decided it
Buildings A and B are reasonably required to maintain the site's lawful amenity use, whereas building C is substantially larger than necessary and serves residential rather than maintenance purposes, making it unsuitable for countryside location.
