Enforcement notice

Enforcement notice - 2002 - Estates Gazette [2002]10 Eg 157(CS) (09/03/02) .

"SOS Environment,Transport and the Regions and another v Thurrock BC", CA 27 February 2002. Second appellant H's appeal against two enforcement notices served by respondent council (T)allowed by inspector in respect of airfield use of open green-belt land. T's appeals against the inspector's decision under the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 ss288 and 289 allowed on grounds that the inspector had taken the wrong approach to both notices. H and the SOS contended on appeal that unlawful change of use did not have to be continuous in accordance with s171B(3) of the 1990 Act so that use would become immune from enforcement action after 10 years. CA dismissed appeal upholding the HC's decision that the inspector should have addressed the question whether enforcement action could have been taken throughout a continuous 10 year period.
