Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the matters alleged in the enforcement notice have occurred
What decided it
The material change of use from woodland to residential garden amenity space had occurred as a matter of fact, and the County Council's status as landowners rather than the occupiers responsible for the breach did not provide a defence to the enforcement notice.
