Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the matters alleged in the enforcement notice have occurred
- Whether those matters constitute a breach of planning control
- Whether at the date the notice was issued, no enforcement action could be taken due to immunity from enforcement
- Whether the steps required by the notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control
What decided it
The land was being used intensively and extensively for residential purposes, which constituted a material change of use not authorised by the 1973 permission for boat moorings, and the appellant failed to demonstrate immunity from enforcement action.
