Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the matters alleged in the enforcement notice constitute a breach of planning control, specifically whether the works to the shop front amounted to development requiring planning permission or were merely maintenance and repair works
What decided it
The Inspector's finding that the works to the shop front, whilst extensive, did not amount to works of replacement, rebuilding or material extension, and therefore did not constitute development requiring planning permission under section 55(2)(a) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
