Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would constitute permitted development under Class E of Part 6, Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 (as amended), having regard to whether the works are reasonably necessary for the purposes of forestry
What decided it
The proposed development does not constitute permitted development under Class E because the works are not reasonably necessary for the purposes of forestry, as the scale of the track is unjustified by the described forestry activity, lake management falls outside forestry scope, and the proposal lacks sufficient detail and justification for a hardstanding surface.
The main issues and the deciding factor are read from the published letter by Town Planner Pro; the letter itself is the record. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Research, not advice.
