Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the matters alleged constitute a breach of planning control (ground c)
- Whether at the date the notice was issued, enforcement action could be taken (ground d)
- Whether the compliance period of 60 days is reasonable (ground g)
What decided it
The appellants failed to demonstrate that the material change of use to storage had been carried out continuously for ten years, and the evidence showed the change of use occurred within the last few years, therefore the enforcement notice was upheld.
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.
