Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the steps required by the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control (ground f)
- Whether the compliance period specified in the notice is unreasonably short (ground g)
What decided it
The enforcement notice provides adequate options to remedy the breach (demolition or remedial works to comply with the approved permission), and the 6-month compliance period is reasonable given the lack of evidence that the property is tenanted or that extended notice periods would be required.
