Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the breach of planning control alleged in the notice constitutes a breach of planning control
  • Whether at the date the notice was issued enforcement action could be taken in respect of the breach
  • Whether the steps required by the notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control

What decided it

The material change of use to mixed agricultural and residential use occurred within the 10-year enforcement period (circa December 2016), making enforcement action lawful, but caravan 1 could lawfully revert to agricultural use and therefore did not require removal.
