Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Appeal A: whether the enforcement notice is sufficiently certain and unambiguous to enable the appellant to comply with it.
- Appeal B: whether enforcement action was barred by the four-year immunity period under section 171B(2) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
What decided it
Appeal A: the enforcement notice's internal contradiction between drawings made it impossible for the appellant to comply with reasonable certainty, rendering it a nullity. Appeal B: the appellant's evidence established that the conversion to two flats occurred before the four-year immunity period expired on 24 April 2020, barring enforcement action.
