The Dairy, Callerton Hall Drive, High Callerton, NORTHUMBERLAND COUNTY, NE20 9TT

foundation works as commencement of planning permission for stable block ref 16/03055/FUL

Authority: Northumberland County Council
Appeal type: ldc · Lawful Development Certificate
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: agricultural · Other minor developments
Inspector: Kean G

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the Council's refusal to grant a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded, specifically whether commencement of the permitted development occurred within the statutory time limit and whether the development was erected in the position shown on the approved plans

What decided it

The appellant failed to provide sufficient evidence to demonstrate on the balance of probabilities that commencement of the permitted development occurred within the statutory three-year time limit, as the statements lacked proper statutory declaration formalities and were unsupported by corroborating documentary evidence.

Judgments cited: Commercial Land Ltd v SSTLGR [2002] EWHC 1264 (Admin)

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.
