- Inspector
- Madge M
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether a material change of use from one to two dwellings has occurred
- Whether the rear dormer window constitutes a breach of planning control
- Whether the outbuilding was substantially completed before the material date for enforcement immunity
- The development's effect on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area
- The development's effect on the living conditions of residents and neighbours
What decided it
The self-contained living unit was ancillary to the main dwelling rather than a separate planning unit, meaning no material change of use to two dwellings occurred, allowing the enforcement notice to be quashed and planning permission granted for the extensions and outbuilding.
