Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether, at the date the enforcement notice was issued, no enforcement action could be taken due to the passage of time (ground (d) appeal under section 174(2)(d) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990)
What decided it
The appellant failed to prove on the balance of probability that the operational development was substantially completed more than 4 years before the enforcement notice was issued, as the available evidence indicated the works were undertaken between August 2018 and May 2019.
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.
