Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether copies of the enforcement notice were served as required by section 172 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990
  • Whether the steps required by the notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control
  • Whether the period for compliance with the requirements of the notice falls short of what should reasonably be allowed

What decided it

The enforcement notice was properly served, its requirements were necessary to remedy the breach by removing facilities integral to the unlawful use, and the 6-month compliance period was reasonable given the tenancy terms allowing 3 months' notice.
