Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

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

What decided it

The enforcement notice failed to specify with sufficient clarity what breach of planning control was alleged, what steps were required to remedy it, and the reasons for issue, rendering it invalid and incapable of correction without injustice.
