Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the replacement of the front windows constitutes development as defined in section 55 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990
- Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control
What decided it
The replacement windows materially affect the external appearance of the building and the wider terrace through their cumulative differences in design, which is particularly significant in a conservation area where uniformity of window design is important.
