Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether, on ground (d), at the date when the enforcement notice was issued, no enforcement action could be taken in respect of the breach of planning control alleged in the notice
What decided it
The evidence of a complaint on 31 August 2018 when installation was being carried out, combined with the Council's site visit on 3 September 2018 showing the windows already installed, established that the windows were installed within the 4-year enforcement period, placing the burden on the appellant to prove otherwise, which he failed to do.
