Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether copies of the enforcement notice were properly served on the appellant
- Whether the erection of a roller shutter door constitutes a breach of planning control
What decided it
The use of the site for metal fabrication falls within Class B2 rather than Class E, and therefore does not benefit from Class A permitted development rights; additionally, the roller shutter door is within 5 metres of the site boundary and would not be permitted under Class H.
