Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the steps required to comply with the enforcement notice are excessive (ground (f) appeal)
What decided it
The steps required by the enforcement notice to remove the unauthorised bifold doors and balustrade and reinstate the rear elevation are not excessive, as they seek to return the site to its condition prior to the breach of planning control, and any lesser alternatives would constitute materially different schemes requiring separate planning applications.
