A local rural business has been conducting B2 (general industrial) and B8 (storage and distribution) operations from their village site from which they are only permitted to carry out agricultural work.
They have made retrospective planning applications to cover significant work that has taken place on the site and attempt to gain B2 and B8 classification. But their planning applications have been rejected and the local planning authority has issued an enforcement notice telling them to cease all B2 and B8 operations and return the land (which they have extensively modified) back to the state it was in beforehand.
Nearby neighbours have suffered greatly due to this company's unpermitted engineering and transport works. Do these neighbours now have grounds to make claims for the impact that the illegal, unpermitted operations have had on their health and quality of life? Many thanks.
