Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the steps required by the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control
What decided it
The enforcement notice requirements were excessive because they went beyond what was necessary to remedy the breach; a simple requirement to comply with the Prior Approval terms is sufficient and appropriate.
