contrary to the development plan. Having weighed the factors in support of the development, I am not persuaded that there are any material considerations of sufficient weight, either taken individually or cumulatively, to indicate that determination should be made otherwise than in accordance with the development plan. I conclude that planning permission ought not to be granted for the proposed development. Conclusion 96. For the reasons stated above, I have found that all three appeals should be dismissed. I shall uphold the Enforcement Notice subject to Appeal A. Appeal

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the matters alleged in the enforcement notice constitute a breach of planning control

What decided it

The camping use commenced before the required notification to the Council under Class BC condition BC(b) of the GPDO, and the existing lawful use of the land was not conclusively demonstrated, such that Article 3(5) of the GPDO potentially disapplied the deemed permission.
