Enforcement Notices found to be nullities at Sea View Farm

Stephenson Halliday Ltd has been supporting Anthony Crean QC in opposing three enforcement notices served upon our clients D Morgan plc. The Enforcement Notices alleged that our clients had deposited waste on areas outside that with planning permission and had exceeded the approved levels within the area with planning permission. Our planning team has been working with Anthony Crean QC of No.5 Chambers on the issues of nullity and invalidity of the enforcement notices. A preliminary hearing on these issues was held earlier this month. A letter from the Planning Inspectorate, issued yesterday, indicates that the Inspector concurs with our view that the notices are nullities and so have no effect. The formal decision and costs decision are expected shortly.
