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 specified in the enforcement notice falls short of what should reasonably be allowed (ground (g))

What decided it

The availability of an extant planning permission for a modified outbuilding granted at appeal after the enforcement notice was issued provided a lawful alternative to demolition, justifying variation of the notice steps; and the one-month compliance period was unreasonably short given the practical time needed to arrange and execute the remedial works.
