Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the matters stated in the enforcement notice have occurred
- Whether the matters constitute a breach of planning control, specifically whether the development is permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 6, Class A(b) of the GPDO
- Whether the steps required by the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control
- Whether the period specified in the enforcement notice falls short of what should reasonably be allowed
What decided it
The enforcement notice was varied to correct the plan boundaries, consolidate duplicative removal requirements into a single requirement, clarify the restoration standard, and extend the compliance period to 5 months, because the original requirements exceeded what was necessary to remedy the breach and the original timeframe was unreasonably short.
