Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the means of enclosure constitutes a breach of planning control (ground c)
  • Whether the steps required by the notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach (ground f)
  • Whether the compliance period is reasonable (ground g)

What decided it

The means of enclosure exceeds 1 metre in height adjacent to a highway used by vehicular traffic and therefore falls outside the permitted development provisions of the GPDO, constituting a breach of planning control that must be remedied by complete removal.
