Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the enforcement notice specifies with sufficient clarity the alleged breach of planning control and the reasons for issuing the notice
What decided it
The enforcement notice failed to specify with sufficient clarity the alleged breach of planning control and the reasons for issuing it, with an irreconcilable contradiction between the allegation (annex building) and the first reason (separate dwelling), making it impossible to correct without injustice.
