Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • Whether there has been any material change in circumstances since a previous Inspector's appeal decision dismissing an appeal against refusal of planning permission for the same development
  • Whether the steps required by the notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control
  • Whether the period given for compliance is unreasonably short

What decided it

The building's detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area, contrary to Local Plan Policy LP24, with no material change in circumstances since the previous Inspector's decision and no alternative scheme presented.

Framework references: 12

Plan policies cited: LP24, LP21, LP22
