Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the steps required by the enforcement notice go beyond what is reasonably required to remedy the breach of planning control
- Whether the period specified in the notice to comply with the requirements falls short of what should reasonably be allowed
What decided it
The Council's failure to demonstrate a 5-year supply of traveller pitches, the absence of suitable alternative accommodation, and the pending planning application for regularisation justified extending the compliance period from 6 to 18 months to provide reasonable certainty for the appellant.
