Planning appeal 3374034 at Land at Commercial Unit, 17-19 Woodview Street, Leeds, LS11 6JY (Leeds City Council) was allowed in part (a split decision) on 4 February 2026 by Inspector Ollerenshaw M, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: Whether, at the time the enforcement notice was issued, it was too late to take enforcement action against the alleged breach on the basis that the development was substantially completed more than four years prior to the notice being issued.

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether, at the time the enforcement notice was issued, it was too late to take enforcement action against the alleged breach on the basis that the development was substantially completed more than four years prior to the notice being issued
What decided it
The fascia board, which was an integral part of the shop front development, was not installed until late 2022 or early 2023, meaning the whole development was not substantially completed within the four-year enforcement period.
