Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the matters alleged in the enforcement notice have occurred (ground b)
- Whether the use constitutes a breach of planning control or is ancillary to Class E uses at Littlemead Business Centre (ground c)
- Whether the steps required by the notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach (ground f)
- Whether the compliance period of two months is reasonable (ground g)
What decided it
The appeal site was historically associated with the former nursery use and did not form part of the planning unit of the commercial units at Littlemead Business Centre, so the parking use constituted a material change of use requiring planning permission.
