Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the matters alleged in the enforcement notice have occurred
  • Whether, if they have occurred, they constitute a breach of planning control
  • Whether it is too late to take enforcement action
  • Whether the requirements of the notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach
  • Whether the compliance period specified in the notice is reasonable

What decided it

The photographic evidence clearly demonstrated that the hard surface was newly laid after November 2022, establishing a breach of planning control that had not achieved immunity from enforcement action.
