Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control (ground f)
  • Whether the period specified for compliance with the notice is reasonable (ground g)

What decided it

The kitchen and drainage connections were integral to facilitating the unauthorised residential use and their removal was necessary to remedy the breach; the 6-month compliance period was reasonable given the modest scope of works and the absence of occupants.
