Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Appeal A ground (c): whether the matters alleged in the enforcement notice constitute a breach of planning control
- Appeal A ground (f): whether the steps required by the notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach
- Appeal A ground (g): whether the period specified to comply with the notice falls short of what should reasonably be allowed
- Appeal B: whether the cabin is in an appropriate location for the development with regard to development plan policies; and the effect on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The site's existing exemption certificate for camping and caravan use by the Freedom Camping Club meant that dismissing the appeal would result in comparable development and travel patterns, making the scale of harm from accessibility conflicts small and acceptable within the permissive environment of Policy 5.
Plan policies cited: Policy 5, Policy 1, Policy 2, Policy 7, Policy 12, Policy 22, Policy 23, CEDPD Policy T1, CEDPD Policy C1
