Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the compliance period for the enforcement notice should be extended from 3 months to 9 months

What decided it

The compliance period of 3 months, combined with the 4 months already elapsed since submission, provides a reasonable and proportionate balance between the appellant's business needs and the need for the unauthorised use to cease.
