Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Appeal A (ground g): whether six months is a reasonable period for compliance with the enforcement notice requirements
- Appeal B: whether the development now proposed would sufficiently overcome the identified harm resulting from the existing development, such that what is proposed would comply with the development plan for the area, with particular regard to the effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers
What decided it
The proposed amendments to the extension would not sufficiently overcome the significant harm to neighbouring living conditions identified in the previous appeal decision, as the 40cm reduction in eaves height coupled with an 80cm increase in overall roof height would not adequately mitigate the overbearing and enclosing effect on the adjoining property at no. 93.
