Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the enforcement notice specifies with sufficient clarity the alleged breach of planning control and the steps required for compliance
What decided it
The enforcement notice does not specify with sufficient clarity the alleged breach of planning control or the steps required for compliance, and any further amendments would cause injustice to the appellant who cannot alter his grounds of appeal.
