They consider that it is expedient to issue this notice, having regard to the provisions of the development plan and to other material planning considerations. The breach of planning control alleged Without planning permission, the creation of bunds using imported waste materials in the positions shown coloured red on the attached plans (Inset Plans 1-8) . Statement of Reasons for Issuing this Notice The Council considers that it is expedient to take enforcement action because: 1. It appears the above breach of planning control has occurred within the last four years. 2. The bunds represent an inappropriate form of development within the open downland of the AONB. The scale and nature of the bunds neither conserves nor enhances the landscape character and quality of the AONB and conflicts with Policies EN2, EN3, EN4 & EN7 of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Structure Plan 1991-2011, Policies CT2 & PT15 of the Lewes District Local Plan 2003 and Policies WLP1(f) and WLP35(e) of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Waste Local Plan 2006. 3. The bunds will restrict access on to the Tye and will adversely affect amenity, thereby conflicting with Policy LT16 of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Structure Plan, Policy PT15 of the Lewes District Local Plan 2003 and Policy WLP35(d) of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Waste Local Plan 2006. 4. The bunds contain non-inert waste materials that have an adverse visual effect and may be hazardous to users of the Tye, thereby conflicting with Policy LT16 of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Structure Plan 1991-2011, Policy PT15 of the Lewes District Local Plan 2003 and Policy WLP35(d) of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Waste Local Plan 2006. 5. The disposal of both inert and non-inert waste materials in the AONB has not been justified in relation to the principles of waste management and does not enhance the landscape or general environment. It is an inappropriate use of materials in this location and conflicts with Policies W2 & W9(b) and (c) of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Structure Plan 1991-2011 and Policies WLP1(a) and WLP24 of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Waste Local Plan 2006. 6. The bunds adversely affect the setting of the Prehistoric cross-dyke Scheduled Ancient Monument and conflicts with Policy EN23 of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Structure Plan 1991-2011 and Policy H9 of the Lewes District Local Plan 2003. 7. The bunds are unlikely to be grazed to the requirements of the Environmentally Sensitive Area Scheme and are likely to support rank vegetation that could threaten the success of the adjoining chalk grassland flora which would conflict with Policy EN17 of the East Sussex and Brighton & Hove Structure Plan 1991-2011. 8. The Council does not consider that planning permission should be granted for this development. What you are required to do 1. Remove the unauthorised bund s all those unauthorised bunds shown in red on Inset Plans 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A, 6A, 7A, 8A and return the land back to grassland consistent with the surrounding habitat.
