Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the internal works and alterations to the ground floor constitute a material change of use requiring planning permission
- Whether the breach of planning control had become immune from enforcement action due to the passage of time
- Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice are excessive
- Whether the time given to comply with the notice is too short
What decided it
The internal alterations that reduced the dwelling's floorspace by approximately one-third and changed its character from a one-bedroom unit to a studio flat constituted a material change of use creating a new planning unit, which had not been immune from enforcement action as it occurred within four years of the notice being served.
