Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the enforcement notice is valid having regard to errors in the plan and the extent of the fence identified
  • Whether the erection of the fence constitutes a breach of planning control
  • Whether the period for compliance is reasonable

What decided it

The fence exceeds 1m in height and is adjacent to a highway used by vehicular traffic, therefore it does not qualify as permitted development and constitutes a breach of planning control.
