Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • On ground (f): whether steps could overcome the breach of planning control or injury to amenity
  • On ground (g): whether the time for compliance is reasonable

What decided it

The approval of planning permission 22/01375/FUL for a modified fence design established that complete removal was excessive, justifying variation of the enforcement notice to permit implementation of the approved scheme as an alternative to demolition.
