Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the fences subject of the appeals constituted a breach of planning control
- Whether at the date the notice was issued, no enforcement action could be taken in respect of any breach of planning control
- Whether the notice's remedial steps go beyond what is reasonably necessary to remedy the identified harm
What decided it
The front and rear flank boundary fences exceeded the heights permitted by the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 2015 and were not immune from enforcement action, making the notice's requirements reasonable and proportionate.
