Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Council acted unreasonably in not having proper regard to the fallback position and in not including 'lesser steps' in the requirements of the enforcement notice

What decided it

The Council adequately explained its position on the fallback and did not fail to recognise it when issuing the notice, and it was for the appellant to put forward lesser steps as an alternative, making the appeal necessary and the costs incurred normal costs of exercising the right of appeal.
