Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the steps required by the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control

What decided it

The appeal succeeded on ground (g) because the four-month compliance period fell short of what should reasonably be allowed, given current labour and materials constraints and the pending alternative planning application.
