Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the breach of planning control alleged in the notice has occurred as a matter of fact
  • Whether the development constitutes a breach of planning control or is in accordance with the 2006 planning permission
  • Whether the matters alleged took place more than four years prior to the issue of the enforcement notice and are therefore immune
  • Whether the steps required to comply with the requirements of the notice are excessive

What decided it

The appellants failed to demonstrate that the development was in accordance with the 2006 planning permission, as the drawing they provided lacked evidence of submission and differed significantly from the original approved drawing and officers' report.
