Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether substantial demolition of the original dwelling occurred as a matter of fact
  • Whether the construction of a replacement dwelling constitutes a breach of planning control
  • Whether the enforcement notice requirement exceeds what is necessary to remedy the breach

What decided it

The original building no longer existed as a recognisable structure sufficient to be enlarged, meaning the construction of a replacement dwelling constituted unauthorised development in breach of planning control.
