Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the matters alleged in the enforcement notice have occurred as a matter of fact
- Whether the works constitute permitted development
- Whether the works are immune from enforcement action due to the passage of time
What decided it
Photographic evidence showing substantial new works undertaken between April 2020 and June 2021, significantly within four years of the enforcement notice being served, combined with the appellants' failure to demonstrate with sufficient clarity that the works were merely repairs to a pre-existing access.
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.
