Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the Appellant acted unreasonably in continuing with an enforcement notice appeal after the Council had varied the notice to extend the compliance period, thereby justifying a full award of costs against the Appellant

What decided it

Once the Council formally varied the enforcement notice to extend the compliance period to six months on 4 March 2022, the Appellant's appeal seeking a four-month period had no reasonable prospect of success, and the Appellant's continued pursuit of the appeal after being requested to withdraw it constituted unreasonable behaviour justifying a full costs award.
