Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the dormers, roof terrace, fire escape stairs, and upvc windows constitute breaches of planning control (ground c)
- Whether the breaches are exempt from planning control as they were substantially completed more than four years before the enforcement notice was issued (ground d)
What decided it
The appellant's evidence lacked sufficient precision and detail to show that any of the development was substantially completed at least four years before the enforcement notice was issued, and therefore failed to establish exemption from enforcement action under section 171B of the Act.
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.
