Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the enforcement notice validly identifies the planning unit and the alleged breach
  • Whether the requirement in the notice is sufficiently precise and lawful
  • Whether the notice can be corrected or varied without causing injustice

What decided it

The enforcement notice is invalid because it fails to identify the correct planning unit, contains an imprecise and unlawful requirement, and cannot be corrected without causing injustice to the parties.
