Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the enforcement notice is sufficiently certain and unambiguous to enable the recipient to know what steps must be taken to remedy the alleged breach, particularly in relation to the requirement to alter the rear dormer
What decided it
The enforcement notice is a nullity because Step 3 relating to the rear dormer alteration is hopelessly ambiguous and uncertain, failing to enable the recipient to tell with reasonable certainty what steps must be taken to remedy the breach.
