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.
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.
