An enforcement notice issued by a council in south Yorkshire has been quashed, an inspector finding that the breach alleged in the notice was set out incorrectly (DCS Number 400-031-367).
The appeal site was a small part of a large field to the rear of the appellant’s dwelling. The inspector recorded that in June 2015 the appellant had applied retrospectively for planning permission for ’retention of temporary large shed and decking’. This application was refused by the council in April 2020. (Blog note: Yep, nearly five years later). A subsequent appeal was dismissed in January 2021 and the enforcement notice was then issued in February 2021.
