Hi Ian,
I own a log cabin adjacent to a river in a sssi site, the log cabin had concrete paving slabs around front and both sides. The side adjacent to the riverbank was concrete paving slabs then a timber decking area extending beyond paving slabs due to the slope of the riverbank, I have since extended the decking over top of the paving slabs, the environment agency have got involved and are demanding the complete decking has to be removed, however can they force me to remove decking / paving slabs, as the paving has been in situe for over 15 years. ( can you put decking on top of existing paving slabs?)
Also if the paving slabs have been there for over 15 years surely they cannot force me to remove and return site back to natural habitat?
Regards
