Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the artificial hedge and supporting structure constitute development requiring planning permission or benefit from permitted development rights under the GPDO
  • Whether the steps required by the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control

What decided it

The artificial hedge and supporting structure exceed the 2.5 metre height limit applicable to development within 2 metres of the curtilage boundary and therefore do not constitute permitted development.
