Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the compliance period for the enforcement notice should be extended to 12 months to allow time for submission and determination of a planning application to reposition the workshop canopies and for staff to find alternative employment
What decided it
The Inspector has no power under ground (g) to extend the compliance period as this would be tantamount to granting temporary planning permission, and the three-month period (effectively six months from appeal submission) is reasonable and proportionate.
The main issues and the deciding factor are read from the published letter by Town Planner Pro; the letter itself is the record. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Research, not advice.
