Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice are the minimum necessary to remedy the breaches of planning control (ground f)
  • Whether the periods for compliance with the enforcement notice are reasonable (ground g)

What decided it

The 84-day compliance period for ceasing the equestrian use was unreasonable and inconsistent with precedent from a similar enforcement notice on nearby land, justifying variation to 180 days.
