Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area
  • The effect of the development on the living conditions of the adjacent occupiers with regard to visual impact

What decided it

The existence of extant 2016 and 2017 planning permissions that could be implemented as an alternative to total demolition, which would remedy the breach and overcome the identified harm to character and appearance at proportionate cost.

The harm to character and appearance from the development as constructed was weighed against the availability of extant planning permissions that would allow substantial compliance at less disruption, resulting in a variation of the enforcement notice to offer the appellant a choice between demolition or modification to accord with the extant permissions.
