Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice are excessive
- Whether the time for complying with the requirements of the notice falls short of what should reasonably be allowed
What decided it
The compliance period specified in the enforcement notice as issued was unreasonably short as it would place the appellants in immediate breach, and eight months from the date the notice takes effect provides a reasonable balance between remedying planning harm and maintaining privacy and security.
