Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether, at the date when the enforcement notice was issued, the alleged breach of planning control was immune from enforcement action under section 174(2)(d) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990

What decided it

The operational development was substantially completed in December 2022 and the enforcement notice was issued on 23 May 2024, which is less than four years later, so the development had not become immune from enforcement action.
