without planning permission, removal of the roofing material and enlargement of existing building in height to create more than a single level (hereinafter known as "the breach")

Authority: Warwick District Council
Appeal type: enforcement · Enforcement Notice
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: other · Minor retail and services
Inspector: Jones L

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the enforcement notice was properly served
Whether the enforcement notice accurately describes the breach of planning control
Whether the matters alleged constitute a breach of planning control
Whether the steps required by the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach

What decided it

The appellant failed to demonstrate on the balance of probabilities that the works did not constitute a breach of planning control, as the removal of roofing material and enlargement of the building constituted development for which planning permission was required and none had been granted.
