Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect on fire safety
  • Whether the steps required by the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control
  • Whether the period specified to comply with the requirements of the notice is reasonable

What decided it

The development carried out does not respect the host building or terrace, appearing as a disjointed collection of poorly positioned windows and doors on a bland elevation, causing material harm to character and appearance that cannot be justified by material considerations.
