Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the alleged breaches of planning control have occurred, having regard to the proper identification of the planning unit and the completeness of the alleged uses within that unit

What decided it

The enforcement notice failed to specify the agricultural use as part of the mixed use of the planning unit and could not be corrected without causing injustice to the appellant, rendering it invalid.
