Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the enforcement notice is valid and sufficiently clear in its description of the alleged breaches of planning control and the steps required for compliance

What decided it

The enforcement notice misdescribed the breach by treating two separate planning units as one composite use, and failed to specify with sufficient clarity which operational development was required to be removed, making it impossible for recipients to understand what they had done wrong and what remedial steps were required.
