Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether, at the time the enforcement notice was issued, it was too late to take enforcement action in respect of the breach as alleged (ground (d) appeal)
What decided it
The appellant's photographic evidence showing substantial completion of the operational development on 10 May 2019, more than four years before the enforcement notice was issued on 26 May 2023, was uncontradicted by the Council and established that the four-year immunity period had expired.
