Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

- Whether the period for compliance with the notice is reasonable (ground g)
- Whether the development is immune from enforcement action as substantially completed before the relevant date (ground d)
What decided it
The notice was upheld with variations because the appellant failed to demonstrate the development was substantially completed before the relevant date, but the prescribed wall height and internal contradictions in the notice requirements were excessive and required modification.
