Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- 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 enforcement notice requirements are not excessive as they provide two reasonable remedies: demolition or alteration to comply with approved planning permission, and the appellant failed to substantiate any ground (f) claim that the approved pitched roof design is impractical.
