Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the erection of an outbuilding for self-contained living accommodation was substantially complete more than four years before the enforcement notice was issued, such that enforcement action could not be taken
  • Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control

What decided it

The kitchen installation in December 2022, which was within the four-year enforcement period, meant the development was not substantially complete before the limitation date, and the appellant failed to discharge the burden of proof on the balance of probabilities.
