Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the compliance period of 6 months should be extended to 18 months to allow the appellant time to source a specialist contractor and complete works while caring for elderly relatives
What decided it
The Inspector has no power under ground (g) to extend the compliance period as this would amount to granting temporary planning permission, and the 6-month period (effectively 10 months from decision date) is reasonable and proportionate.
