Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the claimed breaches which led to the surcharges occurred
- Whether the Council failed to serve a Liability Notice in respect of the development to which the surcharge relates
- Whether the surcharges have been calculated incorrectly
- Whether the Council has issued a Demand Notice with an incorrectly determined deemed commencement date
What decided it
The Liability Notice was validly registered as a local land charge, binding the appellants as purchasers, but the late payment surcharges were miscalculated by the Council and required recalculation in accordance with Regulation 85.
