Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the alleged breach of failing to assume liability occurred
- Whether the alleged breach of failing to submit a Commencement Notice before starting works occurred
- Whether the surcharges have been calculated correctly
What decided it
The previous land-owners had assumed CIL liability before the appellant purchased the land, so the surcharge for failing to assume liability should not have been imposed, but the failure to submit a Commencement Notice before commencing works was a factual breach correctly subject to the 20% surcharge.
