Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the enforcement notice specifies with sufficient clarity the alleged breach of planning control, specifically whether the use is correctly described as a drinking establishment or whether it comprises a mix of primary uses

What decided it

The enforcement notice does not specify with sufficient clarity the alleged breach of planning control as the actual use comprises a mix of primary interconnected uses rather than a single drinking establishment use, and the notice cannot be corrected without causing injustice to the parties.
