Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the enforcement notice specifies with sufficient clarity the alleged breaches of planning control and the steps required for compliance
What decided it
The enforcement notice is invalid because it does not specify with sufficient clarity the alleged breaches of planning control or the steps required for compliance, and the errors cannot be corrected without causing injustice to the parties.
