Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the steps required by the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to achieve its purpose (ground f)
  • Whether the period for compliance with the notice falls short of what is reasonable (ground g)

What decided it

The original 2-month compliance period was unreasonable and disproportionate; a 6-month period would allow the appellants time to explore permitted development options and discuss alternatives with the Council.
