Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the outbuilding constitutes permitted development under Class E, Part 1, Schedule 2, Article 3 of the GPDO
- Whether the matters stated in the notice constitute a breach of planning control
- Whether the use had been continuous for a period of ten years and is immune from enforcement action
- Whether planning permission ought to be granted for the mixed use
- Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary
What decided it
The appeal site's remote and isolated rural location is fundamentally unsuitable for the mixed business use alleged in the notice and conflicts with the development plan's strategy for directing employment development to appropriate settlements.
