Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the steps required by the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control (ground f)
  • Whether the period given for compliance with the notice falls short of what should reasonably be allowed (ground g)

What decided it

The ground (f) appeal failed because allowing the development to remain in any form would not remedy the breach of planning control, which was the notice's stated purpose; the ground (g) appeal succeeded because three months was insufficient time to arrange contractors and funding, but five months was reasonable.
