Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether, at the date the enforcement notice was issued, enforcement action could be taken in respect of the alleged breach (ground d)
- Whether the steps required by the notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control (ground f)
- 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.
