Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the period specified in the enforcement notice for complying with its requirements falls short of what should reasonably be allowed
What decided it
The Inspector determined that six months provided sufficient time for removal of caravans and hardstanding plus grass seeding at an appropriate time of year, striking a balance between prompt remediation and proportionality.
the need to remedy the breach as soon as practicable balanced against not imposing a disproportionate burden on the appellant's business, tipping in favour of a six-month compliance period
