Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the alleged breach of planning control has occurred as a matter of fact
- Whether the matters alleged in the notice constitute a breach of planning control
- Whether the breach occurred more than 10 years prior to the notice being issued
- Whether the notice requirements are excessive
- Whether the period for compliance is unreasonably short
What decided it
The compliance period of two months was unreasonably short to allow the appellant to find alternative premises and relocate the business, warranting variation to six months, but all other grounds of appeal failed.
