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
  • Whether the period specified in the notice for compliance falls short of what should be reasonably allowed

What decided it

The appellant provided no alternative steps to remedy the breach and the four-month compliance period is reasonable given the absence of substantive reasons preventing site clearance within that timeframe.
