Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the matters alleged in the enforcement notice constitute a breach of planning control
Whether the steps required by the notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control or injury to amenity

The material change of use to a mixed use involving waste storage and residential caravan stationing on a substantial scale, without planning permission, constituted a clear breach of planning control that the enforcement notice was necessary to remedy.
