Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the alleged matters (erection of six timber posts, three timber fence panels and associated gates) have occurred as a matter of fact
  • Whether the alleged matters constitute a breach of planning control
  • Whether the development was immune from enforcement action due to the passage of four years
  • Whether the enforcement notice was properly served

What decided it

The appellant failed to discharge the burden of proof on the balance of probability for any of the four grounds of appeal, with Council evidence of site visits and observations contradicting his assertions about the nature and timing of the boundary works.

The main issues and the deciding factor are read from the published letter by Town Planner Pro; the letter itself is the record. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Research, not advice.
