Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice to remove the detached garage and boundary treatment exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control
What decided it
The enforcement notice's requirements do not exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control, as the GPDO does not grant retrospective permission and the appellant provided insufficient evidence that the garage would be reasonably required as incidental to the dwellinghouse.
