Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the steps required by the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control
- Whether the period for compliance with the enforcement notice is too short
What decided it
The previous planning permission for the replacement dwelling could not be relied upon to justify the unauthorised structure because the permission's status was uncertain and its key condition regarding demolition of the original dwelling appeared to be a true condition precedent incapable of retrospective compliance.
