Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the enforcement notice specifies with sufficient clarity the alleged breach of planning control and the steps required for compliance
What decided it
The enforcement notice failed to specify with sufficient clarity what constituted the alleged breach of planning control, particularly the undefined term associated structures, making it impossible to determine what steps were required for compliance.
