- Whether the period specified for compliance within the enforcement notice (6 months) falls short of what should reasonably be allowed under section 174(2)(g) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990
What decided it
Six months is a sufficient and proportionate period for compliance as it allows adequate time to submit and obtain determination of a planning application, and the appellant has already benefitted from nearly 12 months since confirming the appeal would proceed on ground (g).
