Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether, at the date when the enforcement notice was issued, the extension was substantially complete and therefore immune from enforcement action under section 171B(1) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990
What decided it
The appellant failed to demonstrate on the balance of probabilities that the white cladded extension was substantially complete by 19 April 2017, as the Council's dated photographic and aerial evidence showed the structure was substantially altered and enlarged between 2017 and 2020.
