Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Appeal A Ground (c): whether the single-storey extension constitutes a breach of planning control or is permitted development
- Appeal A Ground (d) and Appeal B: whether the roller shutters were substantially completed four years before the enforcement notice was served or the LDC application was submitted, such that enforcement action could not be taken or a certificate of lawful development should be granted
What decided it
The photographic evidence, particularly Google Earth and Street View images, demonstrated that the roller shutters were installed after July 2017, failing to meet the four-year immunity threshold for either enforcement action or certificate of lawful development.
