Development: leisure-sport · Change of use
Inspector: Hanson S

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether copies of the enforcement notice were served correctly as required by section 172 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990
Whether the steps required by the notice to remedy the breach of planning control exceed what is reasonably necessary
Whether the period for compliance with the notice is reasonable

What decided it

The enforcement notice correctly identified the breach as a material change of use to three separate holiday-let units with associated operational development, and the requirements specified were the minimum necessary to remedy that breach, with a reasonable compliance period.

Read the decision letter on the Inspectorate’s site
