Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the period of time for compliance with the enforcement notice requirements (2 months) falls short of what should reasonably be allowed
What decided it
The Inspector found no physical or practical reason why the enforcement notice requirements could not be complied with within the 2-month period, and financial constraints alone do not justify extending the compliance timeframe.
