Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the claimed breaches which led to the surcharges occurred
  • Whether the Council failed to serve a Liability Notice
  • Whether the Council issued a Demand Notice with an incorrectly determined deemed commencement date

What decided it

The appeal under Regulation 117(1)(a) and (b) was dismissed because a valid Commencement Notice was not submitted before works commenced, entitling the Council to impose surcharges; but the appeal under Regulation 118 was allowed because the Council had incorrectly determined the deemed commencement date.
