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 or any injury to amenity (ground (f))
- Whether the period specified for compliance falls short of what should reasonably be allowed (ground (g))
What decided it
The material change of use to a shisha bar and the erection of the single storey rear extension are unauthorised, therefore the cessation of the use and demolition of the extension are necessary to remedy the breach, and the 4-month compliance period is proportionate given the time already elapsed.
