- Appeal A Ground (g): Whether the 12-month period for compliance falls short of what should reasonably be allowed
- Appeal B Ground (f): Whether the steps required exceed what is necessary to achieve the purpose of the notice
- Appeal B Ground (g): Whether the periods specified in the notice fall short of what should reasonably be allowed
What decided it
The enforcement notices were upheld as necessary to remedy breaches of planning control, with variations to the compliance periods to balance the harm caused by the unauthorised uses against the practical difficulties and human rights considerations of the appellant and resident families.
