Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the loft conversion, rear extension, conservatory and outbuilding were substantially complete more than four years before the date of application and therefore immune from enforcement action
What decided it
The aerial photographs from 2013 onwards showing the four elements of development present and unchanged, corroborated by the neighbours' letter confirming completion more than ten years before the application, provided sufficient evidence that the developments were substantially complete more than four years before 8 May 2024.
