Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the matters alleged in the enforcement notice constitute a breach of planning control (ground c)
- Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice are excessive to remedy the breach (ground f)
- Whether the period for compliance is too short (ground g)
What decided it
The extraction flue does not comply with the approved details and therefore constitutes a breach of planning control that must be remedied by removal, but the compliance period should be extended to nine months to allow the appellant reasonable time to explore alternatives and obtain necessary permissions.
The balance struck between the difficulties presented by COVID-19 and the need for the appellant to explore alternative plant locations and obtain permissions, against the public interest in remedying the breach, justified extending the compliance period from four to nine months.
