Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the installation of the metal structure constitutes a breach of planning control
  • Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach
  • Whether the period for compliance with the notice is reasonable

What decided it

The metal structure at 3.5 metres in height immediately abutting both side boundaries breaches the 2.5-metre height limitation in E.1(e)(ii) of the GPDO applicable to structures within 2 metres of the dwelling boundary, and therefore does not benefit from permitted development rights.
