Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appellant breached CIL Regulations 31(1) and 67(1) by commencing development without submitting an Assumption of Liability Notice and Commencement Notice
- Whether the Council issued a Demand Notice with an incorrectly determined deemed commencement date under Regulation 7(5)(a)
What decided it
The deemed commencement date in the Demand Notice was determined incorrectly under Regulation 7(5)(a), as it should reflect the date planning permission was granted rather than the day after.
