Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the breach of planning control has occurred as a matter of fact (ground b)
- Whether there has been a breach of planning control in relation to permitted development rights (ground c)
- Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice are excessive (ground f)
- Whether the compliance period is too short (ground g)
- Whether the enterprise is of a scale appropriate to its location
- The impact that the development has on the landscape
- Whether there is a fallback position
What decided it
The fallback position that the appellant could have obtained permitted development for an agricultural building of similar size and visual impact outweighed the landscape harm, justifying permission for the building, hardstanding and access, but the storage container and welfare unit lacked justification and were refused.
