Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Enforcement Notice was served in accordance with section 172 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990
- Whether at the date the notice was issued it was too late to take enforcement action
- Whether the Enforcement Notice should be varied to impose time restrictions on the use
What decided it
The Established Use for storage of heavy machinery acquired between 1950-1970 has been abandoned due to at least 33 years of non-use evidenced by satellite imagery, making the current scaffolding storage use an unauthorised material change of use within the ten-year enforcement time limit.
