Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control
  • Whether the six month compliance period falls short of what should reasonably be required

What decided it

The unacceptable risk to highway safety from the substandard access road and junction, which outweighed the business hardship, though the compliance period was extended to provide reasonable time for relocation.
