Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Appeal A: Whether the matters alleged in the enforcement notice have occurred; whether they constitute a breach of planning control; whether enforcement action was time-barred; and whether the notice requirements are proportionate.
  • Appeal B: Whether the development would be permitted by Class A, Part 6, Article 3, Schedule 2 of the 2015 Order; and if so, whether prior approval is required and acceptable.

What decided it

Appeal A: The double-decker bus is not a typical agricultural vehicle and the storage activity is not ancillary to the lawful agricultural use, constituting a material change of use requiring planning permission. Appeal B: The rendering works were completed in 2020 before the prior approval application was made in 2024, breaching the condition precedent for permitted development rights.
