Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the matters alleged in the enforcement notice have occurred as a matter of fact (ground b)
- Whether the canopy structure constitutes a building requiring planning permission and whether it benefits from permitted development rights (ground c)
What decided it
The canopy structure satisfied the three tests for being a building (substantial size, permanence, and physical attachment to the premises) and did not qualify as permitted development under the GPDO, thus requiring planning permission which had not been obtained.
