Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the period specified in the enforcement notice for compliance (six months) falls short of what should reasonably be allowed

What decided it

The considerable risks relating to flooding and poor living conditions due to aircraft noise outweighed the appellants' need for time to find alternative suitable accommodation, making the six-month compliance period reasonable.
