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 or injury to amenity (ground f)
  • Whether the period specified in the enforcement notice falls short of what should reasonably be allowed (ground g)

What decided it

The static caravan and timber building were fundamentally linked to enabling the unauthorised residential activities and had not been adequately shown to have been previously used lawfully in connection with agriculture, therefore their removal was necessary and not excessive.
