Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the enforcement notice complies with the requirements of section 173 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 in specifying with sufficient clarity the alleged breach of planning control and the steps required for compliance
What decided it
The enforcement notice failed to identify with sufficient clarity which of two windows on the first-floor flank elevation was the subject of the notice, and correcting this defect would cause injustice to the appellant who had prepared their case on a different basis.
