Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether at the time the enforcement notice was issued it was too late to take enforcement action (ground d)

What decided it

The complete clearance of the site in September 2018 followed by commencement of an entirely new business of importing, converting and distributing containers meant that time started to run afresh and the ten-year immunity period under section 171B had not been established for the unauthorised uses at the date of the enforcement notice.
