Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appellant has shown on the balance of probability that the enforcement notice was not served as required by section 172 of the 1990 Act and there has been substantial prejudice
- Whether the matters alleged in the enforcement notice constitute a breach of planning control
- Whether the steps required by the notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach or injury to amenity
What decided it
The enforcement notice's requirement for complete demolition exceeded what was necessary to remedy the injury to amenity caused by the external shutters, which could be adequately remedied by their removal alone.
