Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the erection of brick walls and wooden gates amounts to permitted development under Class A, Part 2 of Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015
- Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice are ambiguous and unclear
What decided it
The wall and gates form a single integrated means of enclosure with parts exceeding 1 metre in height adjacent to the highway, thereby breaching the permitted development limitations and constituting a breach of planning control.
