Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the matters alleged in the notice have occurred as a matter of fact
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area
- Whether the time specified in the notice for compliance with its requirements is unreasonably short
What decided it
The canopy's disproportionate size relative to the dwelling and the poor quality and durability of its materials cause harm to the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area that cannot be outweighed by its functional benefits to the occupants.
The functional benefits of the canopy to the occupants were outweighed by the harm to the character and appearance of the dwelling and surrounding area.
