Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the alleged breach of planning control (material change of use to storage of tiles) has in fact occurred
  • Whether the enforcement notice is sufficiently clear and accurate in its description of the breach and requirements

What decided it

The enforcement notice's description of the alleged breach as 'storage of tiles' did not accurately reflect the actual circumstances on the ground, which involved storage of diverse building materials, and the notice's requirements were insufficiently clear and did not expressly require removal of all materials, rendering it defective and incapable of correction without injustice.
