Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the compliance periods are reasonable
What decided it
The eight-month compliance period strikes the right balance between the appellant's personal circumstances and practical requirements for engaging builders and avoiding winter works, while still addressing the harm to character and appearance in a reasonable timeframe in the public interest.
The balance between the appellant's personal circumstances and practical constraints on engaging building services against the public interest in ceasing harm to character and appearance as soon as possible, tipped in favour of extending the compliance period from four to eight months.
