Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the enforcement notice complies with the requirements of Section 173 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 in clearly stating the alleged breach of planning control and the steps required to remedy it

What decided it

The enforcement notice failed to comply with Section 173 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 because it was hopelessly ambiguous in not specifying the component uses of the alleged mixed use, rendering it a nullity.
