Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the compliance period of 26 weeks specified in the enforcement notice is appropriate, or whether a longer period of 2 years should be allowed to permit relocation of the business
What decided it
The balance between the business's relocation needs and the imperative to remedy the breach of planning control without undue delay, particularly given road safety concerns and the lack of substantive evidence supporting the extended timeframe requested.
The main issues and the deciding factor are read from the published letter by Town Planner Pro; the letter itself is the record. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Research, not advice.
