Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice are excessive and whether lesser steps would overcome the objections (ground f)
- Whether the period for compliance with the requirements of the enforcement notice falls 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 elements including underground infrastructure; however, the compliance periods were unreasonable given the time needed to relocate the business and obtain planning permission for relocated equipment.
