Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the enforcement notice is hopelessly ambiguous or uncertain so as to amount to a nullity
- Whether the notice was properly served on all persons with an interest in the land
- Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice are excessive to remedy the breach of planning control
- Whether the six-month compliance period is reasonable and proportionate
What decided it
The enforcement notice specifies with sufficient clarity the alleged breach of planning control and the steps required for compliance, and the six-month compliance period is reasonable and proportionate having regard to the public interest in enforcing planning law.
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.
