Authority: Vale of White Horse District Council
Appeal type: enforcement · Enforcement Notice
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: other · Other minor developments
Inspector: Hanson S

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether copies of the enforcement notice were served as required by section 172 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990
Whether the matters alleged in the enforcement notice, if they occurred, constitute a breach of planning control

What decided it

The screw pile foundations and utility connections did not constitute development as defined in section 55(1) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 because the structure was removable and the services were easily disconnectable.

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.
