Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the compliance period specified in the enforcement notice falls short of what should be allowed

What decided it

The removal of septic tanks, hardcore and concrete foundations cannot occur until after the mobile homes and caravans are removed, justifying an additional 1 month compliance period for those specific steps.
