Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether a copy of the enforcement notice was served on all persons required to be served under Section 172 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990
- Whether the requirements of the notice exceed what is necessary to achieve its purpose
- Whether the period for compliance is too short
What decided it
The enforcement notice was properly served on all persons substantially prejudiced, the requirements to remove works facilitating the unauthorised use were not excessive under established case law, and the 4-month compliance period appropriately balanced the appellant's relocation plans against the public interest in remedying the breach.
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.
