Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether copies of the enforcement notice were served as required by S172 of the Act and whether the appellant has been substantially prejudiced by any failure to do so
  • Whether the matters alleged constitute a breach of planning control
  • The effect on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area

What decided it

The unauthorised front box dormer causes significant and harmful effects on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area, conflicting with Policies DM35 and DM36 of the Wycombe District Local Plan.

Plan policies cited: Policy DM35, Policy DM36, Householder Planning and Design Guidance SPD
