Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the local planning authority acted unreasonably in issuing the enforcement notice and whether the appellants have incurred unnecessary expense in pursuing the appeals

What decided it

The appellants' evidence did not sufficiently demonstrate that the roller shutter gate and boundary fencing were not recently erected as new development, therefore the LPA's decision to issue the enforcement notice was not unreasonable.
