Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the enforcement notice is valid and sufficiently clear in its allegation of breach of condition C5 requiring occupation to be limited to persons employed in crop spraying business or agriculture
- Whether the requirement to 'vacate the property and land' is sufficiently clear and certain to enable compliance
- Whether the enforcement notice can be corrected without causing injustice to the appellants
What decided it
The requirement to 'vacate the property and land' does not specify with sufficient clarity the steps required for compliance and cannot be corrected without causing injustice to the appellants.
