Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the compliance period of 6 weeks specified in the enforcement notice should be extended to 12 months to allow the appellant time to find an alternative site and arrange removal of equipment and reinstatement works

What decided it

The Inspector considered the time already elapsed (over 4 months) plus the additional period from the decision date (over 5 months total) to be reasonable for the appellant to arrange alternative storage, remove equipment, and reinstate the site, and found no justification for extending the 6-week compliance period to 12 months.
