‘Change of Use of a Former Quarry for the Storage of Caravans’

Authority: East Riding of Yorkshire Council
Appeal type: minor · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: caravan-gypsy · Change of use
Inspector: Tinsley F

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the change of use of land from a former quarry to the storage of caravans would be an appropriate type of development in this location, having regard to the local development strategy for the area and the character and appearance of the area
Whether the site is suitable for the proposed storage of caravans having regard to access and highway safety

What decided it

The proposal conflicts with the development plan as it fails to meet the locational and functional requirements of Policy EC1D for employment development in the countryside, and there are no material considerations that would outweigh this conflict.

Framework references: 125

Plan policies cited: Policy EC1, Policy S4, Policy ENV1, Policy ENV2, Policy EC4

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.

Every English appeal since 2016, with the letter behind it wherever the Inspectorate published one. Searched by meaning as well as by words, with the key case law counted live across the letters.

Casework that chases the deadlines. Applications, appeals and conditions with their statutory dates.

The judgement stays yours. The tool gathers the material and dates it.
