Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the enforcement notice is a nullity and whether the matters alleged constitute a breach of planning control
  • Whether the requirements of the notice exceed what is necessary
  • Whether the period for compliance with the notice is reasonable

What decided it

The existence of extant planning permission 21/2249/FUL provided an obvious alternative remedy at less cost and disruption than total demolition, justifying variation of the enforcement notice to offer this option.
