Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the matters stated in the enforcement notice to constitute breaches of planning control have in fact occurred (ground b)
  • Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breaches (ground f)
  • Whether the time for compliance is reasonable (ground g)
  • Whether the enforcement notice was properly served (ground e)

What decided it

The available evidence did not demonstrate that the works to the building constituted construction of a new building or materially affected the external appearance of the original building, so the allegation of erection of a new dwelling was corrected, but the use as a residential dwelling without permission remained a breach requiring cessation of use.
