Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether conditions 1 and 4 imposed against planning permission TP/10/1258 have been breached for a period of at least ten years and that both the use of the roof of the single-storey rear extension for recreational purposes and the existing balustrading/metal railings were lawful within the meaning of section 191(3) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990
- The effect on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
What decided it
The appellant successfully demonstrated through statutory declarations and photographic evidence that the roof terrace had been used continuously for recreational purposes since November 2012, achieving immunity from planning control, and the balustrading was not harmful to the character and appearance of the surrounding area.
