Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the steps required by the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to achieve its purpose
What decided it
The unauthorised development lacks planning permission following a previous unsuccessful appeal, therefore removal is the only means to remedy the breach and the enforcement notice requirements are proportionate.
