Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether copies of the enforcement notice were properly served
  • Whether the matters alleged have occurred as a matter of fact
  • Whether what is alleged amounts to a breach of planning control
  • Whether the period for compliance is reasonable

What decided it

The air conditioning units constitute operational development with material effect on external appearance, visible from neighbouring properties, and do not fall within permitted development categories, therefore a breach of planning control has occurred.
