- Whether the steps required by the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach
What decided it
The appellants failed to demonstrate on the balance of probability that the caravan had been occupied continuously and uninterrupted for residential purposes for ten years prior to the enforcement notice, and the residential use was not shown to be ancillary to the pub business.
