Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the extensions as built, which depart from approved plans, constitute a breach of planning control (Appeals A and B)
  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and street scene (Appeal C)

What decided it

The roof alterations, when considered as an integral whole including the parapet wall, do not have an adverse visual effect on the street scene or character of the area, and therefore retrospective planning permission can be granted despite the breach of the original approved plans.
