Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the building was substantially completed in accordance with the planning permission or whether it was built as a self-contained dwelling from the outset
- Whether the breach of condition 2 (preventing habitable accommodation use) occurred at least four years before the enforcement notice was issued
- Whether the enforcement notice is excessive in its requirements
- Whether 12 months is a reasonable compliance period
What decided it
The Building Control completion certificate and inspection records, which the Inspector found credible and telling, indicated the building was substantially completed in accordance with the approved plans showing ancillary accommodation rather than a dwellinghouse, undermining the appellants' account of when residential use commenced.
The main issues and the deciding factor are read from the published letter by Town Planner Pro; the letter itself is the record. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Research, not advice.
