Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the enforcement notice is valid and specifies with sufficient clarity the alleged breach of planning control and the steps required for compliance
  • Whether the siting of a mobile home constitutes operational development or a material change of use
  • Whether the mobile home meets the legal definition of a caravan

What decided it

The enforcement notice is invalid beyond correction because it does not specify with sufficient clarity the alleged breach of planning control or the steps required for compliance, and correcting these errors would cause injustice to one or both parties.
