Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the steps required by the notice to be taken, or the activities required by the notice to cease, exceed what is necessary to remedy any breach of planning control or injury to amenity

What decided it

The enforcement notice's requirements to cease the unauthorised use and remove associated items were necessary to remedy the breach, but the requirement to restore the land to public highway use exceeded the scope of enforcement action and was therefore varied.
