Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the enforcement notice specifies the alleged breach of planning control with sufficient clarity
What decided it
The enforcement notice does not specify the alleged breach of planning control with sufficient clarity, as it misidentifies the use as storage of shipping containers when the containers are actually used for ancillary storage in connection with the business operations.
