Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the matters stated in the notice have occurred, ie the ground (b) appeal
- whether it was too late for the Council to take enforcement action due to the time limits set out in section 171B of the 1990 Act, ie the ground (d) appeal
- if the above ground of appeal is not successful, whether the steps required by the notice to be taken, or the activities required by the notice to cease, exceed what is necessary to remedy any breach of planning control which may be constituted by those matters or, as the case may be, to remedy any injury to amenity which has been caused by any such breach, ie the ground (f) appeal
- whether the period for compliance with the notice falls short of what should reasonably be allowed, ie the ground (g) appeal
What decided it
The Inspector's finding that the first floor structure was a new building and that the residential use of the property had not continued unbroken for four years due to intervening storage and office use, meaning the breach had occurred and enforcement action was not time-barred.
