Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether enforcement action could be taken in respect of the boundary fence (ground d)
  • Whether the steps required to comply with the notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach (ground f)
  • Whether the period specified in the notice falls short of what should reasonably be allowed (ground g)

What decided it

The hardstanding, lighting columns, and ground level restoration were not ancillary to the alleged mixed use but to previous uses of the site, and therefore their removal exceeded what was necessary to remedy the breach; the compliance period of three months was unreasonably short for business relocation.
