Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice are excessive (ground f)
- Whether the time period for compliance should be extended (ground g)
What decided it
The appellants' lack of long-term intention to retain the fitness studio and their desire to avoid the expense of a planning application or ground (a) appeal, combined with the enforcement system's requirement for a fixed compliance period and the Council's view that the use is harmful, meant the requirements could not be deemed excessive and the time period could not be reasonably extended.
