Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the matters alleged constitute a breach of planning control
- Whether the steps required by the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control
What decided it
The two-storey extension was constructed unlawfully and therefore the dormer added to it could not benefit from permitted development rights, constituting a breach of planning control that required the enforcement notice's remedial steps.
