Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the matters stated in the enforcement notice constitute a breach of planning control (ground c)
  • Whether the development is acceptable in terms of character and appearance (ground a, Appeal 2 only)

What decided it

The particular context of the property's corner location, set-back position, and existing forward massing meant the front extension caused no visual harm to the house or area, allowing the appeal on ground (a) despite the Council's design guidance.
