Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether at the date the enforcement notice was issued, the development was immune from enforcement action on the ground that it was substantially completed more than four years prior to the notice being issued
What decided it
The appellant's evidence, unchallenged by the Council, demonstrated that the wall was substantially completed in September/October 2016 and the railings and gate by 30 March 2017, both more than four years before the enforcement notice was issued on 7 June 2021, conferring immunity from enforcement.
