Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the requirement to remove the additional kitchen area is excessive under section 174(2)(f)
  • Whether 6 months is a reasonable period for compliance under section 174(2)(g)

What decided it

The additional kitchen was integral to the breach of planning control (the creation of two self-contained flats), and its removal was therefore not excessive; furthermore, 6 months provided reasonable time for compliance given the straightforward nature of the works and the appellant's prior knowledge of the enforcement action.
