Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the enforcement notice specifies with sufficient clarity the alleged breach of planning control and its requirements, particularly the extent of fencing required to be removed

What decided it

The enforcement notice fails the Miller-Mead test because it does not fairly specify with sufficient clarity which portions of the fencing constitute the breach and what extent must be removed to remedy it.
