Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the enforcement notice is defective and if so whether it can be corrected without causing injustice to the appellant or local planning authority
What decided it
The lack of clarity and precision in the notice regarding the primary use or mixed uses of the land, combined with the risk of injustice to the appellant if the notice were corrected without his opportunity to respond, made it impossible to correct the notice without causing injustice.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy GB3
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 145Paragraph 149
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
