Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the periods specified in the enforcement notice for compliance (three months and nine months) fall short of what should reasonably be allowed under section 174(2)(g) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990

What decided it

The Inspector determined that twelve months was a reasonable and proportionate compliance period, balancing the appellants' circumstances and the financial hardship against the harm caused by the unauthorised development, and that this period would be sufficient to cease the uses and carry out the required works including gaining access to the site and dealing with tenant occupancy.
