Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the notice properly and fairly informs the appellants what they have done wrong
- Whether the matters comprising the alleged breach of planning control have occurred
- Whether the matters alleged constitute a breach of planning control
- Whether at the date the notice was issued enforcement action could be taken
- Whether the steps required by the notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach
- Whether the period specified in the notice falls short of what should reasonably be allowed
What decided it
The appellants failed to demonstrate that the storage containers and mobile structure were required temporarily in connection with construction operations being carried out on the land, given the substantial period of inactivity since demolition of the original dwelling and the appellants' stated lack of financial means to construct the approved replacement dwelling.
