Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the matters stated in the alleged breach of planning control had occurred as a matter of fact by the date the notice was issued (ground (b))
  • Whether the steps required by the notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control (ground (f))
  • Whether the 15 month compliance period falls short of what should reasonably be allowed (ground (g))

What decided it

The two extended residential caravans conjoined together with substantial extensions constituted a single residential building requiring planning permission, and the enforcement notice's requirements were necessary and proportionate to remedy the breach with a reasonable compliance period.
