Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether a material change of use of the land from a field with nil use to a parking area for vehicles and unauthorised operational development creating a hardstanding area have occurred
- Whether the period specified in the enforcement notice for compliance is reasonable
What decided it
The parking areas were ancillary to the primary lawful use of the land for caravan stationing rather than constituting a material change of use to a primary parking use.
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.
