Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the alleged breach of planning control (erection of a building) has occurred
  • Whether at the date the notice was issued, enforcement action could be taken (ground (d) — substantial completion and immunity period)
  • Whether the steps required by the notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach (ground (f))

What decided it

The building has not been substantially completed as a dwellinghouse and therefore remains subject to enforcement action; the requirements of the notice are not excessive.
