Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the enforcement notice was properly served on all persons with an interest in the land (ground e)
- Whether the requirements of the notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control (ground f)
- Whether the time given to comply with the requirements of the notice is too short (ground g)
What decided it
The enforcement notice was properly upheld as the requirements to remove the unauthorised development and restore the property to its previous condition are necessary to remedy the breach of planning control, and the five-month compliance period is reasonable.
