Plot 17 Church Road APPEAL DECISION – 3264515
4. The occupier of land known as Plots 5&6 and Plots E&F has created an access off Church Road and installed gates, a fence has been partially erected to mark the eastern boundary of Plot 6, some sheds have been erected and a further old dilapidated shed completely rebuilt and substantially extended. All these developments are not permitted under an Article 4 direction that impacts land at Church Road. Enforcement action has been taken by DBC against these particular activities and the occupiers have appealed against the enforcement notice. The appeal has now been considered by the Planning Inspectorate who has upheld the enforcement notices and asked for the buildings and fencing and gates to be removed and the original fencing along the roadside reinstated to match the existing fence. A period of two months is given for this removal and reinstatement work, 8th August latest.

DBC plan now to review the other activities that are taking place on these plots including the occupation of the caravan.
However, first DBC must deal with a Judicial Review of the Appeal decision that has been submitted by the appellants.
