Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Ground (d): whether, at the date the notice was issued, no enforcement action could be taken because the breach was immune from enforcement
- Ground (e): whether copies of the notice were served as required by section 172 of the Act
What decided it
The appellants' own admission that the site was not purchased or occupied by caravans until 2018 meant the breach fell well within the 10-year enforcement time limit, defeating ground (d), while no prejudice arose under ground (e).
