Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development alleged in the enforcement notice has been carried out without planning permission
What decided it
The as-built extension has a materially different roof design (gabled instead of hipped) and exceeds the approved dimensions in depth, width and height, such that the implemented development departs materially from the 2018 Permission and constitutes unauthorised development.
