Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the enforcement notice specifies with sufficient clarity the alleged breach of planning control and the steps required for compliance
What decided it
The enforcement notice failed to comply with section 173(2) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 by not enabling the recipient to know fairly what matters constituted the breach and what steps were required to remedy it, and the Inspector was unable to correct the notice without risking injustice to any party.
