Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control
- Whether the period for compliance with the notice is reasonable
What decided it
The absence of detailed proposals demonstrating that double-glazed timber windows could be manufactured on a like-for-like basis without materially affecting the building's external appearance meant the requirements were not excessive, and a nine-month compliance period was reasonable for the specialist restoration work required.
