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 for compliance is reasonable (ground g)

What decided it

The enforcement notice properly requires cessation of the unauthorised storage use and removal of all associated items to remedy the breach of planning control, and the three-month compliance period is proportionate and reasonable.
