Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the installation of railings on the roof constitutes development requiring planning permission
  • Whether the Council was within the time limit to take enforcement action under section 171B of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990
  • Whether the period for compliance with the enforcement notice is reasonable

What decided it

The railings constitute development requiring planning permission as they are permanently fixed to the building and materially affect its external appearance, and no permitted development rights or express planning permission applies to them.
