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
- Whether the period specified in the enforcement notice for compliance is reasonable
What decided it
The enforcement notice requirements are necessary to remedy the breach, but the compliance period of 5 months is unreasonably short given the scale of works and practical constraints of appointing a builder and minimising occupant disruption.
