Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice in Appeal B are excessive and whether lesser steps would overcome the objections (ground f)
Whether the periods for compliance with the requirements of the enforcement notices fall short of what is reasonable (ground g)

What decided it

The purpose of the enforcement notice is to remedy the breach of planning control by restoring the land to its condition before the breach occurred, which requires removal of all unauthorised development including underground infrastructure.

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.
