Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether copies of the enforcement notice were served as required by section 172 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990
What decided it
The enforcement notice was not properly served on all occupiers as required by section 172, as the Council sent only a single copy to 'The Occupiers' at the street door rather than serving named occupiers at their separate registered addresses, substantially prejudicing them.
