Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the increase of ground levels through the importation and processing of inert waste constitutes a breach of planning control (ground (c))
  • Whether the steps required by the notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control, or any injury to amenity caused by it (ground (f))
  • Whether the periods specified in the notice for compliance fall short of what should reasonably be allowed (ground (g))

What decided it

The finding that condition 5 of the 1949 permission and the 1980 enforcement notice requirement had, on the balance of probabilities, already been treated by the local planning authority as complied with, meaning the current importation and processing of inert waste was unauthorised new development requiring planning permission that had not been granted.
