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 planning unit and the entirety of uses taking place on the holding

What decided it

The enforcement notice does not specify with sufficient clarity the alleged breach of planning control as it fails to reference all uses taking place on the identified planning unit, and correction would cause injustice to the parties.

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.
