Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice are excessive (ground (f))
  • Whether the compliance period of 3 months is reasonable (ground (g))

What decided it

The enforcement notice properly requires cessation of the breach of planning control, which cannot be remedied by limiting guest numbers or other mitigation measures, and 3 months is a reasonable compliance period given the lack of clear justification for extension.
