Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the enforcement notice specifies with sufficient clarity the alleged breach of planning control and the steps required for compliance

What decided it

The enforcement notice failed to specify with sufficient clarity the alleged breach of planning control and the steps required for compliance, and the ambiguity could not be corrected without causing injustice to the appellants.
