As the vote was tied the Chairman exercised his casting vote in favour of the recommendation to grant planning permission.

This report considers the appropriate action to be taken regarding the change of use of the land and operations that have taken place on the field adjacent to The Cottage in Selsted. A planning application was submitted for the residential use of the land for four gypsy families but the necessary information required to make the application valid was never submitted and as such planning permission has not been granted for the use of the land or any of the operations. The report recommends that an Enforcement Notice be served to require the cessation of the residential use; the removal of the caravans and all vehicles and items associated with the residential use of the land; the removal of the hardsurfacing and fencing; the reinstatement of grass and; the reinstatement of the hedgerow.
