Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether, at the date the enforcement notice was issued, no enforcement action could be taken in respect of the breach of planning control under section 174(2)(d) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990
What decided it
The fencing and trellis panels, which form an integral part of the roof terrace boundary treatment, were added between April 2018 and February 2022, substantially completing the breach less than four years before the enforcement notice was issued, so immunity under section 171B(1) was not established.
