High Court orders a developer to pay all legal costs incurred by the applicant in enforcement proceedings related to unauthorised development. The court rejected the developer's arguments against the costs order, affirming the applicant's right to enforce planning control and the principle that a successful private applicant is entitled to recover legal costs. The original decision by the Circuit Court, which the High Court upheld, directed the cessation of the use and operation of the unauthorised structures and their removal, with the land to be reinstated to its prior condition.
