- Whether the unauthorised front porch and canopy had been substantially completed more than 4 years prior to the enforcement notice being issued on 26 April 2023, such that they would be immune from enforcement action under ground (d)
What decided it
The appellant failed to provide any documentary or photographic evidence to demonstrate that the porch and canopy had been substantially completed by 26 April 2019, and the Council's evidence clearly showed the works were incomplete at that date.
