Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the installation of new cladding on the ground floor front elevation constitutes a breach of planning control
  • Whether the steps required by the enforcement notice exceed what is necessary to remedy the breach of planning control

What decided it

The black timber weatherboard cladding fails to comply with Paragraph A.3(a) of Schedule 2, Part 1, Class A of the GPDO because it is not of similar appearance in colour or design to the existing red brick walls and materials of the dwelling.
