Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the matters stated in the enforcement notice as constituting a breach of planning control have occurred as a matter of fact
  • Whether the steps required by the notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control or injury to amenity
  • Whether the period specified in the notice for compliance is reasonable

What decided it

The Inspector varied the enforcement notice to extend the compliance period for waste removal from six to nine months, finding this reasonable and proportionate given the time needed for material testing, adverse weather conditions, and arranging removal, while upholding the notice in all other respects.
