Wiggins v Secretary of State for The Environment, Transport and The Regions: Admn 21 Dec 2000

The claimant sought to appeal an enforcement notice. The land had been used for crushing etc concrete. The council had said it was an unlicensed waste management facility. A temporary permission had been granted subject to an obligation under s106.
Held: Permission was obtained for a filetring media plant, but under the subsequent Use Classes Order, both the filtering media and concrete crushing uses fell within Class B2 and so no planning permission was now required for the change from one to the other. The order was not retrospective, but the claimant asserted established use. The rule in Newbury only applied to preserve an existing use where the new planning permission was unnnecessary to the cuttent use. That did not apply here and the appeal was dismissed.
