- Whether the steps required by the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control
What decided it
The requirements of the enforcement notice are not excessive as they seek only to remedy the identified breaches by reducing boundary elements to heights permitted under permitted development rights and removing inadequately drained hardstanding that does not qualify as permitted development.
