Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The main issue in a ground (c) appeal is that the matters alleged in the Notice do not constitute a breach of planning control
- The ground (d) appeal is that on the date when the notice was issued, no enforcement action could be taken
What decided it
The Inspector found that the building operations, including the TV (garden) room and decking, were not substantially complete until after the four-year relevant date because the bifold doors and other finishing works were not installed until around September 2020.
