Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice are excessive
What decided it
The appellant's proposed alternative of retaining the shed with cosmetic improvements would sustain rather than remedy the breach of planning control, and ground (f) cannot be used to reduce the substance of a notice whose purpose is to restore land to its pre-breach condition.
