Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the enforcement notice was validly served (ground e)

- Whether planning permission should be granted to retain the single storey side extension (ground a and section 78 appeal)
What decided it
The Inspector considered it unreasonable and unfair that the appellant should lose the side extension given it was a substantial improvement on the unsound extension and unsafe wall it replaced, and enjoyed local resident support.

- Development plan policies
- Policy D.DH2
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
