Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the requirements of the listed building enforcement notice exceed what is necessary for restoring the building to its condition before the unauthorised works were carried out

What decided it

The appellant's recognition of the need to reverse unauthorised works and undertaking to carry out repairs and re-covering of the structure meant the notice requirements were justified, though the notice required variation to remove land use matters and clarify the scope of works required.
