Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the listed building enforcement notice is defective in its drafting and requirements
  • whether the building no longer has any special historic interest (ground (a))
  • whether the requirements exceed what is necessary to restore the character of the listed building (ground (g))

What decided it

The enforcement notice is fundamentally defective because it does not specify what materials or design should replace the removed uPVC windows and doors, making it impossible for the appellant to understand what is required, and this defect cannot be remedied by the Inspector.
