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 or injury to amenity

What decided it

The appeal could only proceed on ground (f), which does not permit variation of the notice to a lesser requirement; such variation would require a ground (a) appeal with planning application fee, which was not pursued.
