What decided it
The requirement to remove the hardstanding completely is a proportionate remedy involving the minimum works necessary to restore the site to its condition before the breach took place, and no alternative remedy short of complete removal would achieve the purpose of the notice.
The main issues and the deciding factor are read from the published letter by Town Planner Pro; the letter itself is the record. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Research, not advice.
