Authority: Ribble Valley Borough Council
Appeal type: enforcement · Enforcement Notice
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: leisure-sport · Change of use
Inspector: Bartlett R

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control or injury to amenity (ground f)
Whether the periods for compliance specified in the notice fall short of what should reasonably be allowed (ground g)

What decided it

The requirement to replant trees would prevent the appellants from lawfully utilising their permitted development rights under the GPDO, creating a direct conflict with the notice's own acknowledgement that temporary wedding use could continue within those parameters.

Read the decision letter on the Inspectorate’s site

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.

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.
