Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the enforcement notice is a nullity because its requirements would leave the building without windows
  • Whether the matters alleged in the Notice do not constitute a breach of planning control, in particular whether the replacement windows materially affect the external appearance of the building

What decided it

The Inspector concluded that the replacement windows did not materially affect the external appearance of the building, so the works did not amount to development requiring planning permission.
