Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the matters alleged in the enforcement notice have in fact occurred
Whether the matters alleged constitute a breach of planning control
Whether it was too late to take enforcement action
Whether the requirements of the notice are excessive

What decided it

The appellant failed to produce sufficiently clear and precise evidence that the rear extension was substantially completed or the outbuilding use began more than four years before the enforcement notice was issued, meaning neither matter was immune from enforcement action.
