Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether, at the date the notice was issued, enforcement action could no longer be taken in respect of the breach (ground (d))
- Whether the steps required by the notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach (ground (f))
- Whether the period for compliance falls short of what should reasonably be allowed (ground (g))
What decided it
The appellant failed to prove the waste material breach occurred more than four years before the notice was issued, and could not show the required remedial steps were excessive or the compliance period too short.
