Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether copies of the enforcement notice were served as required by section 172 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990
  • Whether the matters alleged in the enforcement notice, if they occurred, constitute a breach of planning control

What decided it

The screw pile foundations and utility connections did not constitute development as defined in section 55(1) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 because the structure was removable and the services were easily disconnectable.
