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

What decided it

The requirement to reduce the outbuilding height to 2.5 metres to comply with permitted development criteria is a reasonable and necessary remedy for the breach, with removal as a practical alternative, and no lesser measures exist to remedy the breach.
