Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appellant has shown on the balance of probability that the notice was not served as required by section 172 of the 1990 Act as amended and, as a result, he has been substantially prejudiced
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host building and the area
- Whether the steps required by the notice exceed what is necessary to remedy any breach of planning control or injury to amenity
What decided it
The unauthorised extension's poor quality materials and lack of architectural merit cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the host building and surrounding area, in conflict with the development plan, and no material considerations outweigh this harm.
