Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the compliance period specified in the enforcement notice falls short of what should be reasonably allowed under section 174(2)(g) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990

What decided it

The compliance period of 6 months was reasonable in the circumstances given the reasons for issuing the notice and the time that had passed since issuance, and the appellant's personal reasons dependent on court procedures without a specific extended timeframe did not justify extension.
