Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the alleged breach which led to the surcharge (failure to submit a Commencement Notice before starting works) occurred
- Whether the Council failed to serve a Liability Notice in respect of the development to which the surcharge relates
- Whether the surcharge has been miscalculated
- Whether the Council issued a Demand Notice with an incorrectly determined deemed commencement date
What decided it
The appellants pressed ahead with development before obtaining planning permission, making the surcharge unavoidable as a valid Commencement Notice could not be submitted beforehand.
