Update on the caravan park

Birchanger Parish Council has received the following from Uttlesford District Council.

This is to provide you with an update on the site Land North of Birchanger.  A planning Enforcement Notice has been served on the site this morning including on named parties.  The requirements of the notice are:

• Cease the use of the land for residential purposes;
• Remove the caravans and mobile homes from the site;
• Remove any residential paraphernalia from the site;
• Remove the earthbund;
• Remove any waste from the site;
• Disconnect any services to the site.

The notice becomes operational and effective on the 31st December unless an appeal is lodged with the Planning Inspectorate before that day.  There is a six month compliance period in which the requirements of the notice need to be carried out.  If an appeal is lodged with the Planning Inspector the notice is held in abeyance until the appeal has been determined.  If the appeal is dismissed and the notice is upheld the six month compliance period starts from the date of the decision of the appeal.  

I will of course provide any further updates on the case when necessary including if an appeal is lodged. 

The Parish Council will publish updates here. If you have questions please address them to the Parish Council who will pass them on to Uttlesford.
