Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the enforcement notice specifies the alleged breach of planning control with sufficient clarity

What decided it

The enforcement notice does not specify the alleged breach of planning control with sufficient clarity and cannot be corrected without causing injustice to the appellant, therefore it is invalid and must be quashed.
