Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether on the date when the Notice was issued, enforcement action could be taken in respect of the alleged breach of planning control, having regard to the four-year time limit and whether prior enforcement action had been taken
What decided it
The service of a prior enforcement notice on 16 February 2021 meant that the Council could take further enforcement action under Section 171B(4)(b) despite the four-year time limit having expired since the access was constructed.
