Without planning permission 1. The unauthorised construction of a single storey rear extension and wooden canopy

Authority: London Borough of Harrow
Appeal type: enforcement · Enforcement Notice
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Change of use
Inspector: Symons G

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the property has been occupied as two dwellinghouses (ground b)
Whether breaches of planning control have occurred (ground c)
Whether planning permission should be granted for the extensions and change of use (ground a)
Whether the enforcement notice requirements are excessive (ground f)
Whether the compliance period is reasonable (ground g)

What decided it

The extensions were acceptable in planning terms due to their limited impact on neighbouring amenity and special circumstances justifying their depth, but the change of use was unacceptable because the extension's accommodation was substandard and lacked proper facilities.

Plan policies cited: DM1, DM26, DM45, DN1

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.
