Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the appeal development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether there are any material considerations which outweigh any development plan conflict or planning harm found
What decided it
The material harm to character and appearance caused by the visually intrusive design of the structure could not be outweighed by the appellant's unsubstantiated COVID-19 operational claims.
The need to remedy harm to character and appearance was balanced against human rights considerations and the need for reasonable time to make alternative arrangements, resulting in upholding the enforcement notice with an extended 9-month compliance period.
