Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Costs application A: whether the Council's service of the enforcement notice regarding the timber fence was unreasonable
  • Costs application B: whether the Council behaved unreasonably in its conduct of the appeal against non-determination, including its handling of Green Belt and heritage matters relating to the retained timber fence

What decided it

The Inspector found that the Council's actions and decision-making in both the enforcement and non-determination appeals were reasoned and evidence-based, not unreasonable, so no unnecessary or wasted expense was caused.
