Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the one-month compliance period specified in the enforcement notice falls short of what should reasonably be allowed under section 174(2)(g) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990

What decided it

The one-month compliance period does not fall short of what should reasonably be allowed, particularly given the relatively straightforward nature and limited extent of the unauthorised development.
