Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the steps required by the enforcement notice, particularly the removal of hardstanding, exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control or injury to amenity (ground f)
Whether the period specified for compliance with the notice falls short of what should reasonably be allowed (ground g)

What decided it

The removal of hardstanding is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control, and the 100-day compliance period is reasonable as there is no substantiated evidence that alternative business premises could not be found within that timeframe.
