Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Collecting Authority correctly determined the deemed commencement date of 16 May 2023 in the Demand Notice
- Whether material operations commenced before submission of a Commencement Notice and whether surcharges for failure to submit a Commencement Notice and late payment were properly imposed
What decided it
Material operations commenced in October 2022 pursuant to the 2021 Permission, not the 2023 Permission, and therefore the Demand Notice was issued in respect of the wrong permission and the surcharges were not validly imposed.
