Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the enforcement notice was properly served (ground e)
- Whether at the time the notice was issued it was too late to take enforcement action (ground d)
- Whether the period specified in the notice for compliance is reasonable (ground g)
What decided it
The appellant failed to demonstrate that a material change of use to storage and repair of vehicles and mobile homes had occurred more than 10 years before the notice was issued, as aerial evidence showed a break in continuity when the site was substantially clear of such items around 2014-2015.
The main issues and the deciding factor are read from the published letter by Town Planner Pro; the letter itself is the record. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Research, not advice.
