Crawshaw Park, Westfield Lane, Fitling, Hull, East Riding of Yorkshire, HU12 9AH

Authority: East Riding of Yorkshire Council
Appeal type: enforcement · Enforcement Notice
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: employment-industrial · Change of use
Inspector: Freer P

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.

Plan policies cited: Policy S1, Policy S2, Policy S4, Policy S8, Policy EC1, Policy EC4

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.

Every English appeal since 2016, with the letter behind it wherever the Inspectorate published one. Searched by meaning as well as by words, with the key case law counted live across the letters.

Casework that chases the deadlines. Applications, appeals and conditions with their statutory dates.

The judgement stays yours. The tool gathers the material and dates it.
