Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the replacement of windows constitutes a breach of planning control under section 55(2)(a)(ii) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990
  • Whether the works benefit from permitted development rights under Class A, Part 1, Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015
  • Whether Article 3(5) of the GPDO prevents the exercise of permitted development rights due to unlawful building operations

What decided it

The replacement windows have a similar visual appearance to the original windows in terms of overall shape, colour and size of frames, satisfying the GPDO Class A requirement, and permitted development rights were available at the time the enforcement notice was served.
