Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the building operations involved in the erection of the extension were substantially completed on or before 20 September 2019 (Ground d)
  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the street scene and locality (Ground a)
  • Whether the steps required by the enforcement notice are reasonable (Ground f)

What decided it

The appellant failed to prove on the balance of probabilities that the building operations were substantially completed before the relevant date of 20 September 2019, and the extension causes demonstrable harm to the character and appearance of the street scene.
