- Whether those matters constitute a breach of planning control
- Whether enforcement action could be taken at the date the notice was issued
- Whether the notice was correctly served
- Whether the steps required by the notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach
What decided it
The engineering operation of importing substantial quantities of material onto the land constitutes a breach of planning control for which no valid planning permission exists, and the enforcement notice was correctly served within the four-year limitation period.
