Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the alleged breach of planning control (material change of use from agricultural land to mixed use of timber processing and storage) has occurred as a matter of fact
- Whether the matters constitute a breach of planning control
- Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice are excessive to remedy the breach
- Whether the period for compliance is too short
What decided it
The frequency, type and nature of timber processing activities occurring on most days of a working week, combined with associated vehicle movements and noise impacts perceptible to neighbouring residents, constitutes a material change of use from agricultural land as a matter of fact and degree.
The main issues and the deciding factor are read from the published letter by Town Planner Pro; the letter itself is the record. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Research, not advice.
