Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the enforcement notice is clear and unambiguous in its description of the alleged breaches and the requirements
- Whether the matters alleged constitute a breach of planning control
- Whether at the date the notice was issued, enforcement action could be taken
- Whether the steps required by the notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach
- Whether the time for compliance is too short
What decided it
The enforcement notice was upheld as varied because the alleged breaches were clearly identified, constituted planning control breaches, were not immune from enforcement action, and the varied requirements were necessary to remedy the breach, with the 12-week compliance period being reasonable to protect the conservation area.
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.
