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.
The main issues and the deciding factor are read from the published letter by Town Planner Pro; the letter itself is the record. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Research, not advice.
