Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

- Whether enforcement action could be taken at the date the notice was issued
What decided it
The lean-to was substantially rebuilt and significantly altered in 2019, making it a new building completed after the four-year immunity date, whereas the decking was substantially complete in 2014 and therefore immune from enforcement action.
