Procedure: Written Representations
Development: caravan-gypsy · Change of use
Inspector: Graham J
Postcode: PL14 3PS

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether by the date the enforcement notice was issued, the time limit for taking enforcement action had expired (ground (d))
Whether the steps required by the notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control (ground (f))
Whether the compliance period specified in the notice falls short of what should reasonably be allowed (ground (g))

What decided it

The caravan at 'B' and residential chalet at 'C' were separate structures rather than a single building, meaning the time limits for enforcement action had not expired, and the twelve-month compliance period was proportionate to the circumstances of the occupiers.
