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 or any injury to amenity (ground f)
- Whether the period of time for compliance with the notice requirements is reasonable (ground g)
What decided it
The notice requirements go no further than remedying the breach of planning control, and any lesser requirements would not fully remedy it; the compliance period was extended to 9 months to account for the time and cost of bespoke window manufacture.
