NFNPA/PDCC/239/17 – Direct Action – Land at Charles Lane,Crow,Ringwood BH24 3DB – Annex 1 – Enforcement Notice

1. This is a formal notice which is issued by the Authority because it appears to them that there has been a breach of planning control, under section 171 (A) (1) (a) of the above Act, at the land described below. They consider that it is expedient to issue this Notice, having regard to the provisions of the development plan and to other material planning considerations.

2. The land affected

Land at Charles Lane, Crow, Ringwood, BH24 3DB shown edged red on the plan attached to this Notice.

3. The breach of planning control alleged

4. Reasons for issuing this notice

It appears to the Authority that the above material change of use of the land has occurred within the last 10 years and the operational development (the erection of a building and laying of a hardstanding) has occurred within the last 4 years.

The caravans, building, hardstanding, non-agricultural items and paraphernalia are conspicuous and harmful to the intrinsic landscape character of the New Forest National Park without sufficient policy justification and would lead to pressures for further inappropriate developments. The developments harmfully contravene policies DP1, DP6, CP7 and CP8 of the adopted New Forest National Park Core Strategy and Development Management Policies DPD and paragraphs 56 and 115 of the National Planning Policy Framework.

The Authority do not consider that planning permission should be granted because conditions could not overcome the objections referred to above.
