Newbuild Land Dispute Planning Enforcement

The previous version was 2010 at 5 Metres which appeared to change in 2023 as you say. I have also checked everything I can see on the portal regarding the development and it only lists measurements of visitor parking at 5m & 6m. Assuming that there is no specific driveway measurement provided would i be right in assuming they would have had to default to the 2010 standard of 5M? The drive for my house no10 and numbers 1-9 are all 4,8M long. In light of this do i contact planning enforcement or Highways?0

The 2010 standard is what the council would probably say had to be provided (by default) if they decided to take enforcement action. (if the developer appealed the enforcement notice the Inspector would go through the heirarchy of legislation/policy to determine the applicable figure, and in the absence of an application-specific figure then the SPD would be next in line)newbuildnightmare said:The previous version was 2010 at 5 Metres which appeared to change in 2023 as you say.

Assuming your measurement is accurate , could the council insist you move your fence back a few inches to achieve the 5 meters?
