Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the enforcement notice is valid
- The effects of the landscaping of the development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The enforcement notice is incapable of correction without causing injustice because it cannot be clarified whether the appellant must remove hardstanding (which is not alleged as a breach) or provide a different planting scheme to accommodate the changed layout.
