Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice are excessive and lesser steps would overcome the objections (ground f)
- Whether the three-month period for compliance with the notice is too short (ground g)
What decided it
The appellant's failure to appeal on ground (a) or articulate a precise alternative scheme meant the Inspector could not consider lesser steps to remedy the breach, and the three-month compliance period was reasonable.
