Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the enforcement notice is a valid notice in law, specifically whether it specifies a compliance period for the requirement to cease all unauthorised activity

What decided it

The enforcement notice failed to specify a compliance period for the requirement to cease all unauthorised activity, requiring only compliance 'immediately', which is not a valid 'period' in law, making the notice a nullity.

Read the decision letter on the Inspectorate’s site

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.
