Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the enforcement notice was correctly served in accordance with Section 172 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990
  • Whether the compliance period of 12 months is reasonable

What decided it

The Inspector's assessment that a 21-month compliance period for residential relocation was a reasonable compromise that would allow families adequate time to relocate while still safeguarding the HS2 route, whereas 12 months was insufficient given the appellants' personal and health circumstances.
