Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the alleged breaches that led to the surcharges did not occur
- Whether the Collecting Authority failed to serve a Liability Notice in respect of the development to which the surcharges relate
What decided it
The Council failed to serve a valid Liability Notice on the appellant as the known owner of the relevant land, which deprived her of the opportunity to submit a Commencement Notice and therefore the alleged breaches could not have occurred.
