Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the period for compliance with the enforcement notice falls short of what is reasonable

What decided it

A 4-month compliance period represents a reasonable and proportionate balance between the public interest in securing compliance with the enforcement notice and the appellant's personal circumstances of losing his home.

The balance struck between the public interest in securing compliance with the enforcement notice and the appellant's personal circumstances of needing time to find alternative accommodation, resulting in a 4-month compliance period rather than the original 3 months or the requested 6 months.
