Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the remedial steps required by the enforcement notice go beyond what is reasonably necessary to remedy the identified harm (ground f)
  • Whether the period specified in the notice for compliance is reasonable (ground g)

What decided it

The appellant failed to propose any lesser steps that would remedy the identified breaches, particularly the distribution of building materials from the domestic garage site, and the two-month compliance period was insufficient for the scope of works required.
