Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the enforcement notice is invalid because it fails to specify with sufficient clarity the period for compliance with the requirement to cease the unauthorised use
What decided it
The enforcement notice fails to specify with sufficient clarity the period for compliance and cannot be corrected without causing injustice to the appellant, as the necessary corrections would affect two of three requirements and associated timescales.
