Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the steps required by the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control

The false chimneys and air conditioning units are operational development projecting beyond the roofline for which planning permission was required, and the enforcement notice requirements are proportionate to remedy the breach.
