Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the matters stated in the enforcement notice constitute a breach of planning control
- Whether the requirements of the notice are excessive in achieving its purpose
- Whether the compliance period is reasonable
- The effect of the hardstanding on the setting of designated heritage assets
- Whether the hardstanding is inappropriate development in the Green Belt
- The effect of the hardstanding on the openness of the Green Belt
- Whether any harm would be clearly outweighed by other considerations to justify very special circumstances
What decided it
The hardstanding causes substantial harm to the openness of the Green Belt and less than substantial but considerable harm to the settings of listed buildings, with no public benefits to outweigh this harm, and therefore very special circumstances do not exist to justify the development.
