Further, it was felt that the use would represent a material change in use from holiday use to a permanent residential use. The Inspector did not consider that the appearance of the site would change “dramatically” when seen from the public highway. Whilst the introduction of caravans onto the amenity land would be an encroachment he did not consider that they would be particularly visible from the public realm, especially during the summer months. As such he concluded that the proposed siting of an additional six caravans for residential occupation would not amount to the making of a material change in the use of the land that would require planning permission. 04.12.14 3.0 ENFORCEMENT APPEAL DECISIONS 3.1 None 4.0 OTHER OPTIONS CONSIDERED 4.1 None 5.0 CONSULTATION 5.1 None 6.0 RELEVANT COUNCIL POLICIES/STRATEGIES 6.1 None 7.0 RELEVANT GOVERNMENT POLICIES 7.1 None 8.0 RESOURCE IMPLICATIONS (Human/Property) 8.1 None 9.0 SUSTAINABILITY IMPLICATIONS (Social/Community Safety/Cultural/ Economic/ Environment) 9.1 None 10.0 IMPACT UPON (Value For Money/Equalities/E-Government/Human Rights/Health And Safety) 10.1 None 11.0 RELATED DECISIONS AND ANY OTHER RELEVANT FACTS 11.1 None Background Papers: None Contact Officer: Marie Yates, Appeals Administrator 01684 272221 [email protected] Appendices: Appendix 1: List of Appeals received Appendix 1 List of Appeals Received Reference Address 14/00748/OUT Parcel 5736 Newtown Toddington Cheltenham Gloucestershire 14/01036/FUL 29 Bryerland Road Witcombe GL3 4TA 14/00749/OUT Moat Farm Malleson Road Gotherington Cheltenham Gloucestershire GL52 9ET Description Date Appeal Appeal Appeal Statement Lodged Procedure Officer Due 19/02/2015 Public CIP 02/04/2015 Inquiry Outline planning application for the erection of up to 72 dwellings and associated works with all matters reserved for future consideration with the exception of access.
