Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council's decision to refuse the certificate of lawful development is well founded

What decided it

The LDC application was made less than four years after the issue of EN1, meaning the Council retained the power to take further enforcement action under s.171B(4)(b), such that the time for enforcement had not expired and the certificate could not be granted.
