Land to the rear of The Furze Dunt Avenue Hurst Wokingham RG10 0SY
Breach alleged without planning permission, the material change of use of land and building to a vehicle storage (including caravans) and sales business. Linked appeals 250109 & 251276. (a) It appears to the Council that the above breach of planning control has occurred within the last 10 years. (b) The use of the land and building as a vehicle storage (including caravans) and sales business constitutes an unacceptable and unsustainable form of development in an unsustainable location which fails to maintain the quality of the environment and is detrimental to the character and appearance of the countryside and amenity of the area. The development comprises incongruous features within the countryside setting and is harmful to the undeveloped character and amenity of the wider area. It is contrary to Core Strategy policies CP1, CP3 & CP11 (2010), MDD Local Plan Policies CC01 & CC02 (2014), The National Planning Policy Framework (2024), and the advice and guidance contained in the Borough Design Guide (2012). (c) The introduction of a sales and storage business in this remote, rural location, for which there is inadequate justification, has harmful urbanising effect in this countryside location. The encroachment away from the original buildings and large expanse of outdoor vehicle storage and parking represents inappropriate development in the countryside. This is contrary to the National Planning Policy Framework (2024), Policies CP1, CP3 and CP11 of the Core Strategy (2010). Policies CC02, CC03 & TB21 of the Managing Development Delivery Local Plan (2014) and the advice and guidance contained in the Borough Design Guide (2012). (d) The Land is located within Flood Zone 3 and comprises a significant area of hardstanding and outdoor storage. The unauthorised development results in the displacement of water to surrounding areas, with the consequential potential for an increase in flood risk in and around the site for which a sequential test, exception test or a flood risk assessment have not been provided to justify the development. This conflicts the National Planning Policy Framework, Policy CP1 of the Core Strategy, and Policies CC09 and CC10 of the Managing Development Local Plan. (e) Planning permission should not be given because planning conditions could not overcome these objections and planning permission 250109 has been refused on this basis. (f) To remedy the breach of planning control. The appellant has appealed against the notice on the following grounds: (b) That the breach of control alleged in the enforcement notice has not occurred as a matter of fact. (f) The steps required to comply with the requirements of the notice are excessive, and lesser steps would overcome the objections. (g) The time given to comply with the notice is too short.
