Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the periods specified in the enforcement notice for compliance with its requirements fall short of what should reasonably be allowed

What decided it

The harm caused by the unauthorised waste use outweighs the Appellant's concern about finding an alternative site, and the Council's phased compliance periods are reasonable and not excessive.
