Conditions / Refusal Reasons
The use of Little Birches Nursery and the land associated with it has on the balance of probability, been in use as a full day care children's nursery for a period of ten years or more, prior to the point of the registration of this application, 16th June 2025. The use of the premises as shown on drawings: LOC-001 and HLP / 2486 / 02 is immune from any planning enforcement and therefore lawful due to passage of time under sections 171B and 191 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
Appeal
No appeal lodged.
