Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to achieve its purpose (ground f)
  • Whether the period for compliance specified in the notice falls short of what should reasonably be allowed (ground g)

What decided it

The retention of any part of the unauthorised development would not achieve the purpose of the enforcement notice to remedy the breach of planning control, and the three-month compliance period is proportionate given that demolition is already substantially underway.
