Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice are excessive (ground f)
  • Whether the time specified for compliance with the notice is unreasonably short (ground g)

What decided it

The requirement to render and paint the porch following cladding removal was more onerous than restoring the dwelling to its pre-breach condition, as the original external finish was timber weatherboard, not painted render.
