Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the timber cabin is immune from enforcement action due to the passage of four years or more since its substantial completion before the enforcement notice issue date
- Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice are excessive having regard to the purpose of remedying the breach of planning control
What decided it
The rear extension element of the cabin was supplied after the relevant date and constituted a substantial and integral element of the finished building, meaning the whole building could not have been substantially completed before the enforcement notice issue date.
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.
