Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control
  • Whether the time allowed to carry out the remedial works is unreasonably short

What decided it

The requirements of the enforcement notice do no more and no less than seek to reinstate the land to its previous condition and therefore do not exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach, and the 6-month compliance period is reasonable given the time already elapsed and the speed of the original unauthorised works.
