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.
