Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the enforcement notice is sufficiently clear and precise in its allegation of the breach of planning control and the applicable time limit for enforcement action

What decided it

The enforcement notice cited an incorrect time limit for enforcement action (10 years instead of 4 years for operational development), and this error could not be corrected without causing injustice to the appellant.
