Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the enforcement notice was properly served on all persons having an interest in the land materially affected by it

The enforcement notice was not properly served on John and Susan Flynn, who had a materially affected interest in the land, constituting a procedural defect that resulted in substantial prejudice and required the notice to be quashed.
