Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the extended roof dormers and hip to gable roof alteration constitute permitted development under Class B of Part 1 of Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015
  • Whether the steps required by the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control
  • Whether the compliance period of three months is reasonable

What decided it

The development does not qualify as permitted development under Class B because it extends beyond the plane of the existing roof slope forming the principal elevation fronting a highway, and the appellant provided no evidence that the cubic content increase does not exceed 50 cubic metres.
