Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the enforcement notice specifies with sufficient clarity the alleged breach of planning control, having regard to the omission of residential use as a component of the mixed-use
What decided it
The enforcement notice failed to specify the alleged breach with sufficient clarity by omitting residential use as a component of the mixed-use, and the defect could not be corrected without causing injustice to one party or the other.
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.
