Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the steps required by the notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control or injury to amenity (ground f)

What decided it

The enforcement notice requirements were not excessive as they directly addressed the breach of planning control, and the development had already been found to cause material harm to character and appearance.
