Reasons for the decision:

The use of this land for residential purposes does not benefit from planning permission. It is considered that no evidence has been provided to justify very special circumstances for this use within the Green Belt. The use of the land for residential purposes is contrary to Local Plan policies. It is considered to be expedient, and in the public interest, to take enforcement action against this breach of planning control.

 

Alternative options considered:

Officers are not aware of any exceptional circumstances which may justify not taking enforcement action in this case. As such, the alternative option of not taking enforcement action is rejected.
