Update received from BDBC Compliance 20 January 2012:

“I can confirm I have attended site this afternoon and viewed the access referred. In summary, the erection of the small stretch of 3 post wood fencing and the 6 bar steel gate and supporting posts represents a technical breach of planning control. This breach resulting from the omission of 'prior determination', in line Class A of Part 6 of Schedule 2 of the General Permitted Development Order 1995 (as Amended), from having been sought, in advance of the works being undertaken.

In terms of the appropriate response to this breach however, although prior determination should have been sought, it is reasonable to conclude that either: i) had it been sought, it would have been determined that permission wasn't required, or ii) in the event permission was required it would in all likelihood be forthcoming. The field access created being appropriate for its purpose and there being several other such field access within the immediate locality. As such, this is not a matter which the Compliance and Enforcement Team would look to further pursue, or consider taking any response action to at this time.

Issue closed.
