Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the extensions constitute a breach of planning control under ground (c)
- Whether planning permission should be granted for the extensions and change of use under ground (a)
- Whether the enforcement notice requirements exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach under ground (f)
- Whether the 6-month compliance period is reasonable under ground (g)
What decided it
The extensions were integral to the unauthorised change of use and do not benefit from permitted development rights, and their physical form causes unacceptable harm to character and appearance and living conditions that cannot be overcome by conditions.
