Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the construction of automatic wooden gates and associated mechanical equipment constitutes a breach of planning control
  • Whether planning permission was granted for the gates under permitted development rights
  • Whether enforcement action was taken within the statutory time limit

What decided it

The gates exceed 1m in height and are adjacent to Manor Drive, a highway used by vehicular traffic, and therefore do not qualify as permitted development under Part 2 Class A of the GPDO, requiring planning permission which has not been granted.
