Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the enforcement notice properly identifies the planning unit and the actual use of the land
  • Whether the notice achieves the level of clarity and certainty required by section 173(2) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990

What decided it

The enforcement notice failed to achieve the level of clarity and certainty required by section 173(2) of the 1990 Act by misidentifying the planning unit and failing to logically distinguish between use-related breaches and operational development, and these defects could not be corrected without causing injustice.

The main issues and the deciding factor are read from the published letter by Town Planner Pro; the letter itself is the record. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Research, not advice.
