Re: Re: Citywest : Mansfield’s giant heap of crap

It is not the length of time the structure or works have been illegally in existence that is the issue but the length of time prior to procedings being issued that is the criterion. The legal position is that the Applicant moving the enforcement procedings must have commenced procedings within five years of the illegal works. This time period is bizarely less than the standard statute of limitations of seven years despite the results often having a much more long-term implication.
