Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether a material change of use of the land has occurred comprising the importation, depositing, processing and exporting of inert waste materials and the raising of the land with waste
What decided it
The enforcement notice failed to identify the mixed-use nature of the site and did not fairly describe the works carried out, which were undertaken for remediation and redevelopment purposes rather than as a material change of use to waste management.
