Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the period specified for compliance with the enforcement notice falls short of what should reasonably be allowed under section 174(2)(g) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990

What decided it

The appellants had sufficient time from the date of appeal lodgement to undertake necessary ecological surveys, and the two-month demolition period extended beyond the bird nesting season, making the compliance periods reasonable.
