After a successful planning enforcement action by Bucks Council, a site that was being used for the unauthorised storage of reclaimed building materials (predominantly bricks and tiles) in Hyde End has now been cleared.
The site – which is located between Chesham and Great Missenden – is next to a builders’ yard and sits in a sensitive site both in the Green Belt and Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
During 2019, Chiltern District Council refused planning permission for the site to be used to store building materials. This refusal was subsequently upheld at appeal. In June 2020, Buckinghamshire Council issued an enforcement notice against this use and required the cessation of the use and removal of items within six months.
Following correspondence with the site owners and operatives, a Buckinghamshire Council enforcement officer visited the site in July 2022 and found that the use had indeed ceased and that an enormous amount of building materials has been removed from the site.
