Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the enforcement notice specifies with sufficient clarity the alleged breach of planning control and the steps required for compliance

What decided it

The enforcement notice failed to specify with sufficient clarity the alleged breach of planning control and the steps required for compliance, and the defects were too fundamental to correct without causing injustice to the parties.
