Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the enforcement notice specifies with sufficient clarity the alleged breaches of planning control and the steps required for compliance

What decided it

The enforcement notice failed to specify with sufficient clarity which of the timber structures constituted the 'further large timber building' alleged in the breach, rendering it invalid and incapable of correction without prejudice to the appellants.

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.
