Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the matter alleged in the enforcement notice has occurred (ground (b))
  • Whether the notice requirements are excessive (ground (f))
  • Whether the compliance period is reasonable (ground (g))

What decided it

The mobile home was used as a self-contained unit of residential accommodation, constituting a material change of use from residential garden, and the enforcement notice's requirement to cease that use (step (i)) is a proportionate remedy.
