Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether, at the date the enforcement notice was issued, no enforcement action could be taken in respect of the log cabin under section 174(2)(d) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990
- Whether the steps required by the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control under section 174(2)(f) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990
What decided it
The appellant failed to provide sufficiently precise and unambiguous evidence on the balance of probabilities that the log cabin was substantially complete at least four years before the enforcement notice was issued, thereby failing to succeed under ground (d).
