without planning permission the unauthorised alteration of the front facing boundary. This has resulted in a boundary that measures, at the piers, 1.8m and the horizontal metal slats which measure 1.75m in height from ground level, as measured from the side which abuts the highway. This height of the boundary is above the height allowed under permitted development. For indicative purposes please see the annotated Photograph 1 and Photograph 3 ("the Unauthorised Development")

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control or injury to amenity

What decided it

The appeal could only proceed on ground (f), which does not permit variation of the notice to a lesser requirement; such variation would require a ground (a) appeal with planning application fee, which was not pursued.

The main issues and the deciding factor are read from the published letter by Town Planner Pro; the letter itself is the record. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Research, not advice.
