Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the enforcement notice was properly served on all persons with an interest in the land
  • Whether the breach of planning control alleged in the enforcement notice has occurred as a matter of fact
  • Whether the matters alleged amount to a breach of planning control, specifically whether the structure constitutes operational development and whether there has been a material change of use
  • Whether the requirements of the notice are excessive
  • Whether the time given to comply with the notice is too short

What decided it

The cabin structure has been erected as operational development requiring planning permission, having a substantial footprint, considerable permanence over three and a half years, and physical attachment to the land, notwithstanding its current lack of utilities connection and actual use.
