Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the enforcement notice is defective and should be quashed
  • Whether the notice specifies with sufficient clarity the alleged breach of planning control and the steps required for compliance

What decided it

The enforcement notice failed to specify with sufficient clarity which demolition works constituted the alleged breach of planning control, making it impossible to correct the notice without risking injustice to either the appellant or the local planning authority.
