Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the enforcement notice is bad on its face due to vagueness and uncertainty in the breach description and remedial requirements, particularly regarding the requirement to submit a Method Statement for Council approval and the specification of works to be undertaken

What decided it

Both enforcement notices failed to comply with statutory requirements by being hopelessly ambiguous and uncertain, particularly through the requirement for Council approval of a Method Statement which left the appellant unable to know what they must do to comply, and through vague specifications of the works required.
