Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the enforcement notice specifies with sufficient clarity what the alleged breach of planning control is

What decided it

The enforcement notice did not identify with sufficient clarity what the alleged breach of planning control was, particularly regarding whether the storage use was a separate material change of use or incidental to the mixed use, and the Inspector could not correct the defect without causing injustice.
