Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the enforcement notice specifies with sufficient clarity what the alleged breach of planning control and steps required for compliance are
What decided it
The enforcement notice is invalid due to internal inconsistencies and lack of sufficient clarity regarding whether a single mixed use or multiple separate uses were alleged, and the notice cannot be corrected without causing injustice to the appellants.
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.
