Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach and safeguard amenities (ground f)
  • Whether the compliance period is reasonable having regard to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic (ground g)

What decided it

The physical separation of the side extension and provision of independent facilities supported the breach, but only the removal of the separate front door and retention of a single kitchen were necessary to remedy it; the requirement for two internal accesses and removal of the bathroom were excessive.
