The Case

Town and country planning Enforcement notice. The Administrative Court held, allowing the instant application for judicial review, that the Secretary of State's inspector had gone wrong in allowing an appeal against an enforcement notice which had been issued by the local authority in respect of a glass balustrade that had been erected around a flat roof at the rear of a new dwelling house, next-door to the claimant's property. Certain of the inspector's conclusions could not be reconciled and there had been no specific use of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order 1995, , in lawful circumstances, once the appeal had come before the inspector.
