All representations must be received by 18 November 2020.
For the convenience of residents, we have summarized the key details below, but more can be found in the attached Enforcement Notice.
The applicant was seeking a Certificate of Lawful Existing Use and Development (“CLEUD”) for a structure that has been at Barkham Manor Farm since 2009, on the basis that it has been in existence without planning authority and remained unchallenged. There are two aspects this; the legality of the structure as constructed and how it has been used.
Barkham Manor Farm’s application 200041 sought to turn the temporary dwelling permanent, even though the permanent house is now being lived in, and allow it to be used as a non-agricultural residence.
The consolidation of two residences, with permission for one not to be confined to agricultural worker usage, would mean more traffic past the Manor, make it more difficult to resist other businesses being run from the premises and potentially more residential development in the future.
WBC refused to issue a CLEUD and issued an Enforcement Notice to the applicant to remove the temporary dwelling. This is now being appealed.
Kind Regards
BVRA
