Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the steps required by the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to achieve its statutory purpose
What decided it
The appellant failed to identify any lesser steps that would achieve the statutory purpose of the enforcement notice, and allowing retention of the UPVC windows through reduced remedial requirements would effectively grant permission by default and undermine the statutory enforcement process.
