Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the steps required by the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control

What decided it

The kitchen, bedroom and utility room were integral to and solely for the purpose of facilitating the unauthorised use as a self-contained dwelling, justifying their removal, but the shower room had been permitted in the original scheme and its removal was therefore excessive.
