Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the alleged breaches that led to the CIL surcharges (failure to assume liability and failure to submit a Commencement Notice) occurred

What decided it

The part-retrospective nature of the approved development meant commencement was automatically deemed to be the date of planning permission, making it impossible for the appellant to prevent the surcharges.
