Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the enforcement notice specifies with sufficient clarity the alleged breach of planning control, and whether any defect in the Notice could be corrected under s176(1)(a) without causing injustice to either party.

What decided it

The mixed-use allegation in the enforcement notice was found to be incorrect and incapable of correction without causing injustice to the parties, so the notice was invalid.
