Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the enforcement notice was properly served
- Whether the enforcement notice was a nullity due to lack of proper delegated authority to the contractor who issued it
- Whether the waste transfer and processing matters were improperly included as they are a county matter
- Whether the breach of planning control alleged has occurred as a matter of fact
- Whether at the time the enforcement notice was issued it was too late to take enforcement action in respect of the hardstanding
- Whether the steps required to comply with the notice are excessive
What decided it
The Inspector upheld the enforcement notice in part, allowing the appeal only to the extent of removing the requirement to remove the entrance gates and modifying the restoration requirement to restore land to its former condition prior to the breach rather than specifying exact levels and seeding.
