Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the matters alleged in the enforcement notice constitute a breach of planning control
- Whether the requirements of the notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control or injury to amenity
- Whether the period for compliance specified in the notice is reasonable
What decided it
The shelter structure is a building operation requiring express planning permission because it extends beyond the front of the host building, and the two-month compliance period was extended to three months on grounds of personal hardship and business viability.
