Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the enforcement notice relating to the means of enclosure is valid and enforceable
- Whether the alleged material change of use to mixed residential and storage use constitutes a breach of planning control
- Whether the breach is immune from enforcement action due to the passage of time
What decided it
The enforcement notice relating to the means of enclosure is invalid due to vague and ambiguous requirements and an incorrect plan, while the storage use constitutes a material change of use not protected by permitted development rights or the ten-year immunity period.
