Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the matters stated in the enforcement notice have occurred as a matter of fact (ground b)
  • Whether the steps required by the notice exceed what is necessary to achieve its purpose (ground f)
  • Whether the period for compliance with the notice falls short of what is reasonable (ground g)

What decided it

The development resulted in loss of flood storage capacity increasing flooding risk and constitutes inappropriate Green Belt development, making the enforcement notice's requirements and compliance periods proportionate and necessary.
