Without planning permission: The construction of an outbuilding and raised platform at the rear of the land

Authority: London Borough of Ealing
Appeal type: enforcement · Enforcement Notice
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: other · Householder developments
Inspector: Boffin D

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the alleged breach of planning control (construction of an outbuilding and raised platform without planning permission) has occurred as a matter of fact
Whether the matters alleged constitute a breach of planning control
Whether enforcement action could be taken at the date the notice was issued
Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach

What decided it

The outbuilding and raised platform do not comply with permitted development rights under Class E of the GPDO as the total ground coverage exceeds 50% of the curtilage and the raised platform exceeds 0.3m in height, requiring express planning permission which was not obtained.

The main issues and the deciding factor are read from the published letter by Town Planner Pro; the letter itself is the record. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Research, not advice.

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.
