Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the steps required by the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control (ground f)
- Whether the period for compliance specified in the notice falls short of what should reasonably be allowed (ground g)
What decided it
The original 6-month compliance period fell short of what was reasonable because it would fall during a school term and cause disproportionate disruption to the children's education, whereas a 9-month period would coincide with the main school break and provide proportionate balance between the appellant's Article 8 rights and the public interest in protecting the countryside.
