Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the matters alleged in the enforcement notice constitute a breach of planning control, specifically whether the works were carried out in connection with planning permission TWC/2014/0718
What decided it
The planning permission TWC/2014/0718 had lapsed because development was not begun within three years and any works undertaken were in breach of a condition precedent, meaning all alleged breaches lacked planning permission or permitted development justification.
