Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

- Whether the compliance period specified in the notice is reasonable (ground g)
What decided it
The outbuilding was constructed after 13 February 2012, outside the ten-year enforcement period, and the appellant failed to prove continuous residential use from that date; additionally, the substantial operational development should have been addressed within four years, making demolition requirements excessive.
