Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

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

What decided it

The appellant failed to demonstrate on the evidence that the 3-month compliance period was unreasonable, and the public interest in restoring the listed building justified the timeframe.
