Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the steps required by the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control
- Whether the period specified in the notice for compliance is reasonable
What decided it
The existence of an obvious and realistic fallback position whereby the appellant could restore the property to the approved layout and then modify it to a different layout while maintaining lawful single-dwellinghouse use meant the specified restoration requirement was excessive and should be deleted.
