Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the enforcement notice validly and with sufficient clarity specifies the alleged breach of planning control

What decided it

The enforcement notice does not specify with sufficient clarity the alleged breach of planning control, and the errors cannot be corrected without causing injustice to the appellant.
