Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the unauthorised development as alleged in the enforcement notice has occurred (ground b)
  • Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice are excessive (ground f)

What decided it

The breach is a mixed use of agriculture with unauthorised parking and transfer uses, making it appropriate and reasonable to identify the entire farm area in the enforcement notice plan and require cessation of only the objectionable elements of that mixed use.
