Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the unauthorised first-floor rear extension constitutes a breach of planning control, having regard to a subsequent part-retrospective permission for a materially different scheme

What decided it

The first-floor rear extension the subject of the enforcement notice is materially different from the subsequently approved scheme (differing roof design), and therefore does not benefit from the later planning permission.
