Opinion by

Judge Kramer,

This is an appeal by Dr. Robert J. Champaine from an order of the Court of Common Pleas of Chester County, dated May 12, 1975, which enjoined Champaine from conducting certain activities on his land. Champaine contends that (1) the injunctive order of the trial court is overly broad; (2) the suit by the Township of East Bradford represents an arbitrary exercise of the municipality’s zoning power; and (3) a prior order of the Township’s Zoning Hearing Board should have been “revoked” before the Township proceeded in equity. We will reverse the trial court and remand.
