Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether copies of the enforcement notice were served as required by Section 172 of the Act
  • Whether the matters stated in the notice constitute a breach of planning control
  • Whether the steps required by the notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control

What decided it

The wooden structure and pillars/gates exceeded the height limitations specified in Schedule 2 Part 2 Class A of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 and therefore constituted breaches of planning control requiring enforcement action.
