Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the enforcement notice is valid and complies with statutory requirements, particularly in its description of the alleged breach of planning control and the steps required to remedy it
What decided it
The enforcement notice failed to comply with section 173(1) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 by using ambiguous terminology and grammar that did not fairly and clearly describe the alleged breach of planning control or the steps required to remedy it, rendering it a nullity incapable of correction.
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.
