Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the enforcement notice complies with the requirements of section 173 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 in terms of clarity and precision of the alleged breach and the steps required for compliance
What decided it
The enforcement notice failed to specify with sufficient clarity the alleged breach of planning control and the steps required for compliance, in breach of sections 173(2) and 173(3) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, and the defects could not be corrected without injustice to the appellant.
