Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the enforcement notice is properly framed and not excessive in its requirements (ground f)
- Whether the alleged breach of planning control has occurred as a matter of fact (ground b)
- Whether the time given to comply with the notice is reasonable (ground g)
What decided it
The seriousness of the harm to landscape and amenity, combined with the appellant's prior knowledge and the Council's position that waste could be moved 25 metres to the permitted area within the original timescale, justified the original compliance periods.

- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 59
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
