Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether at the date when the notice was issued, no enforcement action could be taken in respect of any breach of planning control on the ground that the alleged development was substantially completed more than four years prior to the enforcement notice being issued
What decided it
The appellant proved on the balance of probability that the alleged development was substantially completed by August 2018, which is more than four years prior to the enforcement notice being issued on 20 September 2022, thereby rendering the development immune from enforcement action under section 171B(1) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
