Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the enforcement notice specifies with sufficient clarity the alleged breach of planning control and identifies with sufficient precision where it is alleged to have occurred

What decided it

The enforcement notice does not specify with sufficient clarity the alleged breach of planning control or identify with sufficient precision where it is alleged to have occurred, and the defect cannot be corrected without causing injustice.

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.
