Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether, at the date the enforcement notice was issued, the four-year limitation period under section 171B of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 had expired
  • Whether the period for compliance specified in the enforcement notice is reasonable

What decided it

The appellants' evidence was not sufficiently precise or unambiguous to demonstrate on the balance of probabilities that the extension was substantially completed on or before 28 January 2018, thus the four-year limitation period had not expired.
