Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether it was too late to take enforcement action against the breach of planning control alleged in the notice, having regard to the four-year limitation period for building operations under section 171B(1) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990

What decided it

The appellant's sworn statement, corroborated by delivery notes and photographs dated July-August 2019, established on the balance of probability that the boundary treatment was substantially completed more than four years before the enforcement notice was issued, thereby exceeding the four-year limitation period for enforcement action against building operations.
