Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the enforcement notice specifies with sufficient clarity the alleged breach of planning control
What decided it
The enforcement notice failed to specify with sufficient clarity and certainty the alleged breach of planning control, as it did not identify the use or purpose of the railway carriages and contained internal contradictions about whether operational development or change of use was alleged.
