Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the enforcement notice complies with section 173(9) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 by specifying a period for compliance with all requirements
What decided it
The enforcement notice failed to specify a period of time for compliance with requirements 5(i)-(iv), specifying only that they cease 'immediately', which does not comply with section 173(9) and renders the notice a nullity.
