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
- Whether the period for compliance with the enforcement notice is reasonable
What decided it
The fallback position that permitted development rights would allow gates up to 1m in height meant that complete removal would be punitive rather than remedial, justifying variation to allow reduction to 1m as an alternative.
