Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the compliance period of 6 months specified in the enforcement notice should be extended to 1 year to allow the appellant time to serve notice on the existing tenant and for contractors to attend the property
What decided it
The 10-month effective compliance period available to the appellant from the date of the decision, combined with the significant lifting of COVID restrictions since the appeal was submitted, provided sufficient time to comply without further extension.
The balance struck between the needs of the tenant to seek alternative accommodation and the need for the unauthorised development harm to be brought to an end, with the 10-month period considered reasonable and proportionate.
