Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the enforcement notice was properly served on everyone with an interest in the land

What decided it

The appellant failed to identify any other persons with an interest in the land who ought to have been served, and the citation of an incorrect policy reference does not render the notice defective provided it clearly communicates what has been done wrong and what remedial action is required.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Doncaster Local Plan policy 57

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
