Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether at the time the enforcement notice was issued it was too late for enforcement action to be taken (ground d)
- Whether the steps required by the notice exceed what is necessary to achieve its purpose (ground f)
What decided it
The appellant failed to discharge the burden of proof on the balance of probabilities that the unauthorised development was substantially completed more than 4 years before the enforcement notice was issued, and provided no substantive evidence that the notice's requirements exceeded what was necessary to remedy the breach.
The main issues and the deciding factor are read from the published letter by Town Planner Pro; the letter itself is the record. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Research, not advice.
