The couple at Stubbs who had their agricultural stalls broken down last month have now been told that they are not allowed to operate their business at that location.
Phyllis and Kerlan Morgan have been operating a small business selling agricultural produce along the roadside for about four years.
Last month, the structure was demolished by a team who said that they were working with the state.
After Phyllis said that she accosted members of the team, they told her that they could build back the structure within 24 hours, which the couple did.
But now, they have been served an enforcement notice from the Physical Planning and Development Board indicating that they must remove the structure from the said location
immediately.

According to the notice dated March 7, Physical Planning contends that the couple carried out the development without a written grant of permission from the said entity.
The notice cited the Town and Country Planning Act of 1992, Section 16 which states that ‘no person shall carry out, or cause to be carried out, any development except under and in
accordance with the conditions of grant permission for development given in writing by the Board.’
The notice to remove the structure immediately took effect one day from the date of service, and failure to comply can result in a fine not exceeding $20,000 and a further fine of $300
in respect to each day or part of a day during which the offense is proved to have continued.
The couple have up to 7 days following the notice to apply to the Board for permission and 14 days to file an appeal under the provisions of the Town and Country Planning Act.
