Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the enforcement notice was validly issued and sufficiently clear as to the alleged breach of planning control, the reasons for issuing it, the steps required for compliance, and the land to which it relates
What decided it
The enforcement notice was invalid because it failed to specify with sufficient clarity the alleged breach of planning control, the reasons for issuing it, the steps required for compliance, and the land to which it relates, and these defects could not be corrected without causing injustice to the appellant.
