Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the period specified in the enforcement notice for compliance falls short of what should reasonably be allowed

What decided it

The passage of time since appeal submission meant the original 3-month period had already expired and summer school holidays had ended, removing the justification for extension.
