Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal proposal (shepherds hut and airstream caravan) falls within the scope of the operative part of the Parent Permission which specifies 'change of use of part of a field and farm yard for five glamping pods', and whether powers under section 73 or 73A of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 permit variation of the description of development itself
What decided it
The shepherds hut and airstream caravan are plainly different in character, form and appearance to the approved glamping pods and cannot reasonably be described as such, creating a conflict with the operative part of the Parent Permission which cannot be varied under section 73 or 73A of the Act.
