91 Bedale Road, Aiskew, Bedale, North Yorkshire, DL8 1DZ

without planning permission, the material change of use of the land from residential use to agricultural use and the construction of an agricultural building and laying of hardstanding for the keeping of livestock

Authority: North Yorkshire Council
Appeal type: enforcement · Enforcement Notice
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: agricultural · Change of use
Inspector: Kean G

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the development complies with the development plan, especially Policy EG7 of the Hambleton Adopted Local Plan 2022, including whether the unauthorised development is reasonably necessary for the purposes of agriculture and its effect on the character and appearance of the area and living conditions of nearby occupiers

What decided it

The development causes unacceptable harm to the living conditions of occupiers of nearby residential properties through noise, odour and visual impact, and the large agricultural building is incongruous and overbearing in relation to the small 0.44ha holding and adjacent residential properties, contrary to the development plan.

Framework references: 85

Plan policies cited: Policy EG7, Policy E2

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.
