Appeal A Ground (f): Whether the steps required by the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to achieve its purpose
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, particularly regarding removal of hardcore, gravel, paving and garden brick edging

What decided it

The Inspector balanced the enforcement requirements against the practical need to allow the appellant's family time to relocate after the school year, extending the compliance period from 12 to 16 months in Appeal A and clarifying the scope of removal requirements in Appeal B to reflect the actual pre-breach condition of the land.
