The enforcement notice concerns the alleged unauthorized use of land at Tulquhonie, Carr-bridge, for placing storage containers and other equipment without planning permission. Allison Coard, a reporter appointed by the Scottish Ministers, dismisses the appeal. This means that the enforcement notice, with some variations outlined in Annex A of the document, will be upheld. The reporter found breaches of planning control, particularly regarding the need for an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) screening and compliance with the Habitats Regulations, and that the appellant did not prove the limitations restricting permitted development rights were met.
