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 injury to amenity (ground f)
  • Whether the periods for compliance specified in the notice fall short of what should reasonably be allowed (ground g)

What decided it

The requirement to replant trees would prevent the appellants from lawfully utilising their permitted development rights under the GPDO, creating a direct conflict with the notice's own acknowledgement that temporary wedding use could continue within those parameters.
