Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control
  • Whether the period for compliance with the enforcement notice is reasonable

What decided it

The removal of permitted development rights by condition on the original planning permission meant there was no realistic fallback position to justify varying the enforcement notice requirements.
