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
- Whether the period specified for compliance is reasonable
What decided it
The enforcement notice's requirements to remove the unauthorised timber structure and dispose of materials are necessary to remedy the breach of planning control, and the five-month compliance period is reasonable given that a planning application has been submitted and can be determined within that timeframe.
