Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the matters alleged in the enforcement notice amount to a breach of planning control, specifically whether the vehicular access constitutes a new access or is a continuation of a former field access
  • Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice, particularly the removal of fencing and access, are necessary to remedy the breach of planning control
  • Whether the period for compliance with the requirements is reasonable

What decided it

The new access is materially different from the former field gate in design and dimensions, constitutes a breach of planning control, and its removal is necessary to remedy that breach.
