Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the appeal scheme on the living conditions of neighbouring occupants, having particular regard to outlook and light
  • The effect of the appeal scheme on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The grant of planning permission under the GPDO for the prior notification application represented a realistic fallback position that could be achieved with less cost and disruption than complete removal, making the original enforcement notice requirements excessive.
