- Whether the steps required by the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control or injury to amenity
What decided it
The existence of an extant planning permission for a first floor rear extension with approved drawings meant that altering the extension to comply with those approved drawings would remedy the breach with less onerous requirements than complete demolition.
