Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice are excessive to remedy the breach of planning control
- Whether the period specified for compliance is reasonable
What decided it
The existence of extant planning permissions granted after the enforcement notice was issued meant that complete demolition was excessive and unnecessary, as the breach could be remedied by modifying the development to comply with the terms of one of those permissions.
