Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the breach of planning control alleged in the enforcement notice has occurred as a matter of fact

What decided it

The appellant's own admission that they were using the roof area for general bringing things in and out of the clinic, combined with photographic and witness evidence of regular access, established on the balance of probabilities that the breach of condition 5 had occurred.

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.
